YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OB-

LIGATIONS: The U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency/California Air Re- sources Board and Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A., are pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your year 2007 and later small off-road engine. In California, all small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Sears must war- rant 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 en- gine. Your emission control system in- cludes parts such as the carburetor, the ignition system and the fuel tank (Califor- nia only). Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair your small off- road engine engine at no cost to you. Expenses covered under warranty in-

clude diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: If any emissions related part on your engine (as listed under

Emissions Control Warranty Parts List) is defective or a defect in the materials or

workmanship of the engine causes the failure of such an emission related part,

the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBI- LITIES: As the small off-road engine engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required mainte- nance listed in your operator's manual. Sears recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Sears cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of re- ceipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled mainte- nance. As the small off-road engine en- gine owner, you should be aware that Sears may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine engine or a part of it has failed due to abuse, ne- glect, improper maintenance, unap- proved modifications, or the use of parts not made or approved by the original equipment manufacturer. You are re- sponsible for presenting your small off- road engine to a Sears authorized repair center as soon as a problem exists.

sponsibilities, you should contact your nearest authorized service center or call

Sears at 1-800-469-4663. WARRANTY COMMENCEMENT DATE: The warran- ty period begins on the date the small off-road engine is purchased. LENGTH OF COVERAGE: This warranty shall be for a period of two years from the initial

WARRANTY PERIOD: Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replace- ment as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of "repair or replace as nec- essary" shall be warranted for 2 years. Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required mainte- nance shall be warranted for the period of time up to the first scheduled replace- ment point for that part. DIAGNOSIS: The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the de- termination that a warranted part is de- fective if the diagnostic work is per- formed at an approved Sears Service Center, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES:

Sears may be liable for damages to oth- er engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty. WHAT IS NOT COVERED: All failures caused by abuse, neglect, or im-

proper maintenance are not covered. ADD-ON OR MODIFIED PARTS: The

use of add-on or modified parts can be

grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. Sears is not liable to cover failures of

warranted parts caused by the use of add-on or modified parts. HOW TO FILE A CLAIM: If you have any ques- tions regarding your warranty rights and

responsibilities, you should contact your nearest authorized service center or call
