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 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.

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.
