Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road equipment engine owner, you are
responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. John Deere
recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your small off-road equipment engine, but
John Deere cannot deny warranty solely for lack of receipts
or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road equipment engine owner, you should
however be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off-road equipment engine or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road
equipment engine to an authorized John Deere
Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer 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, you should contact your John Deere
Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer, or the
John Deere Customer Communications Center at 1-800-
537-8233.

engines, and all applicable regulations of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 1997 and later
equipment engines; and
