The California
Air Resources
Board (CARB),
U.S. EPA and
Sears are pleased
to explain the Emissions
Control
System
Warranty
on your
small off-road engine (SORE).
In California,
new small off-road
engines
model year
2007 and later must be
designed,
built and equipped
to meet the State's stringent anti-
smog standards.
Elsewhere
in the United States, new non-road,
spark-ignition
engines
certified
for model year 1997 and later must meet simi-
lar standards
set forth by the U.S. EPA. Sears must warrant
the
emissions
control system
on your engine for the periods
of time
listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect
or im-
proper maintenance
of your small off-road
engine.
Your emissions
control system
includes
parts such as the carbu-
retor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic
converter.
Also included
may be connectors
and other emissions
related assemblies.
Where
a warrantable
condition
exists, Sears will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you including
diagnosis,
parts
and labor.
Small off-road
engines
are warranted
relative to emissions
control parts defects
for a period of two years, subject to provisions
set
forth below. If any covered
part on your engine is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced
by Sears.
As the small off-road engine
owner, you are responsible
for the
performance
of the required
maintenance
listed in your Operatin-
g and Maintenance
Instructions.
Sears recommends
that you
retain all your receipts
covering
maintenance
on your small off-
road engine,
but Sears cannot
deny warranty
solely for the lack
of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all
scheduled
maintenance.
As the small off-road engine
owner, you should
however
be
aware that Sears may deny you warranty
coverage
if your small
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect,
im-
proper maintenance
or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible
for presenting
your small off-road engine to
an Authorized
Sears Service
Dealer
as soon as a problem
ex-
ists.
The undisputed
warranty
repairs should
be completed
in a rea-
sonable
amount
of time, not to exceed
30 days.
If you have any questions
regarding
your warranty
rights and
responsibilities,
you should
contact
a Sears Service
Representa-
tive at 1-800-469-4863.
The emissions
warranty
is a defects warranty.
Defects are
judged
on normal
engine performance.
The warranty
is not re-
lated to an in-use emissions
test.
The following
are specific
provisions
relative
to your
Emissions
Control
Defects
Warranty
Coverage.
It is in addition
to the Sears
engine
warranty
for non-regulated
engines
found
in the Operating
and Maintenance
Instructions.
