later small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines
must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition
engines certified for model year 1997 and later must meet similar standards set
forth by the U.S. EPA. Sears must warrant the emission control system on your
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 emis-
sion control system includes parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition
system, muffler and catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and
otheremissionrelatedassemblies.Whereawarrantableconditionexists,Sears

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed in your Operating and Maintenance Instruc-
tions. Sears recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance
on your small off-road engine, but Sears 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 Sears may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unap-
proved modifications. You are responsible for presenting your small off-road
