Your

Warranty

Rights and

Obligations

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S.EPA and
Sears are pleased to explain the Emission Control System
Warranty on your model year 2000 and later small off-road
engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines

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 similar standards set

forth by the U.S.EPA. Sears must warrant the emission
control system on your engine for the periods of time listed
below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or

improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission 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.

Sears Emission Control Defects Warranty Coverage

The 1995 and later small off-road engines are warranted for
two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in this
owner's manual. 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, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road
engine to an approved Sears Service Center 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 a Sears Service
Representative at 1-800-469-4663.
