Product Warranty
Product warranty is provided as part of John Deere’s support program for
customers who operate and maintain their equipment as described in this
manual.
Engine related warranties stated in this manual refer only to emissions-
related parts and components of your engine. The complete engine
warranty, less emission-related parts and components, is provided
separately as the “Limited Warranty for New John Deere Commercial &
Consumer Equipment”.
John Deere, Federal and California Emissions Control
System Warranty Statement (Small Off-Road Gas
Engines)
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
California Air Resources Board (CARB), the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), and John Deere are pleased to explain the
emissions control system warranty on your small off-road engine and
equipment. In California, 2006 and later small off-road engines and
equipment must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s
stringent anti-smog standards. (In other states, 1997 and later model year
equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the U.S.
EPA regulations for small non-road, spark ignition engines.) John Deere
must warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine
and equipment for the periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road
engine and equipment.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hose, fuel-injection system and ignition system. Also included may be
connectors and other emissions related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, John Deere will repair your small
off-road engine and equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
John Deere Emissions Control System Warranty Coverage
Small off-road engines and equipment are warranted relative to emissions
control parts for two years. If any emissions related part on your engine or
equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John
Deere.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine and equipment owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s
manual. John Deere recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your small off-road engine and equipment, but John
Deere cannot deny warranty solely for lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine and equipment owner, you should however
be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your small
off-road engine and equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine and
equipment to an authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer
Equipment Retailer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30
days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact your John Deere Commercial and
Consumer Equipment Retailer, or the John Deere Customer Contact
Center at 1-800-537-8233.
Length Of Warranty Coverage
John Deere warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser
that the small off-road engine and equipment is:
• Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for
2006 and later engines and equipment, and all applicable regulations of
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 1997 and
later equipment engines; and
• Free from defects in materials and workmanship which can cause the
failure of an emissions warranted part for a period of two years after the
engine and equipment is delivered to the initial retail purchaser. John
Deere is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part during the warranty period. If any emissions
related part on your engine or equipment is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by John Deere.
