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 2005 and later small off-
road engine. In California, all small off-
road engines must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the State's strin-
gent anti-smog standards. Sears must
warrant the emission control system on
your small off-road engine for the peri-
ods of time listed below provided there
has been no abuse, neglect, or improp-
er maintenance of your small off-road
engine. Your emission control system
includes parts such as the carburetor
and the ignition system. Where a war-
rantable condition exists, Sears will re-
pair your small off-road engine engine
at no cost to you. Expenses covered
under warranty include diagnosis, parts
and labor. MANUFACTURER'S WAR-
RANTY COVERAGE: If any emissions
related part on your engine (as listed
under Emissions Control Warranty Parts
List) is defective or a defect in the mate-
rials 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 WAR-
RANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the
small off-road engine engine owner,
you are responsible for the performance
of the required maintenance listed in
your operator's manual. Sears recom-
mends that you retain all receipts cover-
ing 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 engine 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, neglect, improper
maintenance, unapproved modifica-
tions, or the use of parts not made or
approved by the original equipment
manufacturer. You are responsible for
presenting your small off-road engine to
a Sears authorized repair center as
soon as a problem exists. Warranty re-
pairs should be completed in a reason-
able amount of time, not to exceed 30
days. If you have any questions re-
garding your warranty rights and re-
sponsibilities, you should contact your
nearest authorized service center or call
Sears at 1-800-469-4663. WARRAN-
TY COMMENCEMENT DATE: The
warranty period begins on the date the
small off-road engine is purchased.
LENGTH OF COVERAGE: This war-
ranty shall be for a period of two years
from the initial date of purchase. WHAT
IS COVERED: REPAIR OR REPLACE-
MENT OF PARTS. Repair or replace-
ment of any warranted part will be per-
formed at no charge to the owner at an
approved Sears Service Center. If you
have any questions regarding your war-
ranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact your nearest authorized
service center or call Sears at
1-800-469-4663. WARRANTY PE-
RIOD: Any warranted part which is not
scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance, or which is scheduled
only for regular inspection to the effect
of "repair or replace as necessary" shall
be warranted for 2 years. Any war-
ranted part which is scheduled for re-
placement as required maintenance
shall be warranted for the period of time
up to the first scheduled replacement
point for that part. DIAGNOSIS: The
owner shall not be charged for diagnos-
tic labor which leads to the determina-
tion that a warranted part is defective if
the diagnostic work is performed at an
approved Sears Service Center. CON-
SEQUENTIAL DAMAGES: Sears may
be liable for damages to other engine
components caused by the failure of a
warranted part still under warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED: All failures
caused by abuse, neglect, or improper
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 fail-
ures of warranted parts caused by the
use of add-on or modified parts. HOW
TO FILE A CLAIM: If you have any
questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should contact
your nearest authorized service center
or call Sears at 1-800-469-4663.

VICE: Warranty services or repairs shall
