CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Ryobi Outdoor Products (ROP), are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2000 and later small off-road engine. In California, new small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. ROP must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road 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, ROP will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

The 2000 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 ROP.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

•As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual. ROP recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but ROP 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 ROP 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 a Ryobi Authorized 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 call 1-800-345-8746.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

•The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to the retail purchaser.

•The manufacturer warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser, that the engine is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

•Repair or replacement of warranted part will be performed at no charge to the owner at an Authorized Ryobi Service Center. For the nearest location, please contact Ryobi at: 1-800-345-8746.

•Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of "Repair or replace as necessary" is warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance will be warranted for the period of time up to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.

•The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized Ryobi Service Center.

•The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.

•Failures caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance are not covered under warranty.

•The use of add-on or modified parts can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer is not liable to cover failures or warranted parts caused by the use of add-on or modified parts.

•In order to file a claim, go to your nearest Authorized Ryobi Service Center. Warranty services or repairs will be provided at all Authorized Ryobi Service Centers.

•Any manufacturer approved replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repair of emission related parts and will be provided without charge to the owner. Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance or durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repair and will

not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer.

•The following components are included in the emission related warranty of the engine, air filter, carburetor, primer, fuel lines, fuel pick up/fuel filter, ignition module, spark plug and muffler.
