California / EPA Emission Control Warranty Statement
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Troy-Bilt
LLC ( Troy-Bilt) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your
2007 and later small off-road engine. In California and the 49 states, new small off-road
engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog
standards. Troy-Bilt must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road
engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or
improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection
system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Troy-Bilt will repair your small off-road engine at
no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
The 2007 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-
related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Troy-Bilt.
OWNERS WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. Troy-Bilt recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Troy-Bilt
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 owner, you should however be aware that Troy-Bilt may
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 a Troy-Bilt Authorized
Service Center 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
call 1-800-828-5500.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to the
retail purchaser.
The manufacturer warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser, that
the engine is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the failure of
a warranted part for a period of two years.
Repair or replacement of warranted part will be performed at no charge to the owner
at an Authorized Troy-Bilt Service Center. For the nearest location please contact
Troy-Bilt at: 1-800-828-5500.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance
or which is scheduled for only for regular inspection to the effect of “Repair or
Replace as Necessary” is warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part
which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance will be warranted for the
period of time up to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination
that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized
Troy-Bilt Service Center.
The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Failures caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance are not covered under
warranty.
The use of add-on or modified parts can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
The manufacturer is not liable to cover failures of warranted parts caused by the use
of add-on or modified parts.
