CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL wARRANTy
STATEMENT
yOUR wARRANTy RIGHTS AND ObLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system’s
warranty on your 2008 model year generator. In California, new equip-
ment that uses small off-engines must be designed, built, and equipped
to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Homelite Consumer
Products, Inc., must warrant the evaporative emission control system
on your generator for the period listed below, provided there has been
no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as:
carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters,
vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. For
engines less than or equal to 80 cc, only the fuel tank is subject to the
evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this section.
MANUFACTURER’S wARRANTy COVERAGE:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If
any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the
part will be repaired or replaced by Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.
OwNER’S wARRANTy RESPONSIbILITIES:
 As the generator owner, you are responsible for performance of the
required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. Homelite
Consumer Products, Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your generator, but Homelite Consumer
Products, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of re-
ceipts.
 As the generator owner, you should, however, be aware that Homelite
Consumer Products, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if your
generator or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
 You are responsible for presenting your generator to a Homelite
Consumer Products, Inc., distribution center or service center as
soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be com-
pleted in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should
contact Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., at 1-800-242-4672.
DEFECTS wARRANTy REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The equipment
must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent
owner that the evaporative emission control system when installed
was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all appli-
cable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the
failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be inter-
preted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions must be war-
ranted for the warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). If any
such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be
repaired or replaced by the manufacturer issuing the warranty.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must
be warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty
period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection
in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty
period defined in subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written
instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” will
not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part re-
paired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time
not less than the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted for
the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replace-
ment, the part must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer
issuing the warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remainder
of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty
provisions of this article must be performed at no charge to the
owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) above, warranty
services or repairs must be provided at distribution centers that
are franchised to service the subject equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads
to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective,
provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty
station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system’s warranty
period set out in subsection (b)(2), the manufacturer issuing the
warranty must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to
meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the
performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must
be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not
reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer issuing the
warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for dis-
allowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this article.
The manufacturer issuing the warranty will not be liable under
this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the
use of an add-on or modified part.
(10) The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall provide any docu-
ments that describe the warranty procedures or policies within
five working days of request by the Air Resources Board.
