unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized Sears Service Dealer as soon as a prob- lem exists. The undisputed warranty re-

pairs 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 Repre- sentative at 1-800469-4663.

The emission warranty is a defects war- ranty. Defects are judged on normal en-

gine performance. The warranty is not related to an in-use emission test.
