U. S. EPA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Cub Cadet Corporation and the engine manufacturer for this
equipment, Ishikawajima Shibaura Machinery Co., Ltd. (ISM), are pleased to explain the federal emission control
systems warranty on your engine.
In the U. S. (exclude the state of California), new 1997 and later model year engines must be designed, built, and
equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the EPA regulations for small nonroad engines. The engine must be free from
defects in materials and workmanship during the period of warranty coverage (see PERIOD OF WARRANTY
COVERAGE below). ISM must warrant the emission control system on your engine for that period provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor and the ignition system (see EMISSION
CONTROL WARRANTY PARTS LIST below).
Where a warrantable condition exists, Cub Cadet Corporation will repair your engine at no cost to you, including
diagnosis, parts, and labor, on behalf of ISM. While ISM is ultimately responsible for this warranty, Cub Cadet
Corporation has agreed to carry out ISM’s warranty repair responsibilities, and Cub Cadet Corporation should be your
primary contact for emission-related warranty service.
PERIOD OF WARRANTY COVERAGE
1997 and later utility and small nonroad engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your
engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Cub Cadet Commercial on behalf of ISM.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operator’s
Manual. Cub Cadet Commercial and ISM recommend that you retain the original purchase documentation and all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but Cub Cadet Commercial and ISM cannot deny warranty solely
for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the engine owner, you should be aware, however, that Cub Cadet Commercial and ISM may deny you warranty
coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your engine to an authorized Cub Cadet Corporation servicing facility 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, call Cub Cadet Corporation at 330-273-
4550. You may also contact ISM’s representative at 1-916-431-6677.
WARRANTY STATEMENT
The warranty period referred to above begins on the date the equipment (or engine if sold separately) is first soled to a
retail purchaser.
ISM warrants to the initial retail purchaser and each subsequent owner that this engine is designed, built, and equipped
to conform at the time of initial sale to all applicable regulations of EPA, and that the engine is free of defects in
materials and workmanship that would cause it to fail to conform with EPA regulations during its warranty period.
For the parts listed under EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY PARTS LIST below, an authorized Cub Cadet Commer-
cial servicing facility will, at no cost to you, make the necessary diagnosis, repair, or replacement of any defective part
to ensure that the engine complies with applicable EPA regulations.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for
regular inspection, is warranted for the warranty period. Any part repaired or replacement part installed under this
warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the warranty period.
