OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in you owner’s manual. John Deere recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but John Deere cannot deny a warranty claim solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine owner, you should however be aware that John Deere may deny your warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to the nearest dealer or service center authorized by John Deere when a problem exists. If
you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact the John Deere Customer Communications
Center at 1-800-537-8233 (USA/Canada) for the information.
PARTS COVERED
Listed below are the parts covered by the Federal Emission Design and Defect Warranty. Some parts listed below may require scheduled mainte-
nance and are warranted up to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. The warranted parts include:
Carburetor, Spark Plug, Ignition, Air Filter & Fuel Filter.
LIMITATIONS
The Federal Emission Design and Defect Warranty shall not cover any of the following:
(a) conditions resulting from tampering, misuse, improper adjustment (unless they were made by the dealer or service center authorized by
John Deere during a warranty repair), alteration, accident, failure to use the recommended fuel and oil, or not performing required mainte-
nance services,
(b) the replacement parts used for required maintenance services,
(c) consequential damages such as loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the utility engine of equipment, etc.,
(d) diagnosis and inspection fees that do not result in eligible warranty service being performed, and

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR REQUIREMENTS
You are responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. You should keep all receipts and maintenance records covering the

quent owner of the engine. John Deere reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the owner has not properly maintained the engine. John
Deere will not deny warranty repairs, however, solely because of the lack of repair maintenance or failure to keep maintenance records.

ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL; HOWEVER, WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A DEALER OR SERVICE CENTER AU-

If other than the parts authorized by John Deere are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of components affecting emission control,
you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts authorized by John Deere in their
