FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL DEFECTS WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and Deere & Company (John Deere) are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 1995 and later utility or lawn and garden equipment engine. In California new utility
and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s
stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 1997 and later model year equipment engines
must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small
non-road engines. The engine must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause it
to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two years of engine use from the date of sale to
the ultimate purchaser. John Deere must warrant the emission control system on your utility or lawn
and garden equipment engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse,
neglect or improper maintenance of your utility or lawn and garden equipment 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, John Deere will repair your utility or lawn and garden equipment
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
In California, the 1995 and later utility and lawn and garden equipment engines are warranted for two
years. In other states, 1997 and later model year equipment engines are warranted for two years. If
any emission related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John
Deere.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the utility or lawn and garden 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 utility or lawn and garden 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 utility or lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that John
Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your utility or lawn and garden 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, 1-800-537-8233.
