YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and MTD Consumer Group Inc are pleased to explain the evaporative
emission control system warranty on your 2008 off-road engine and equipment. In California, new off-road engine and equipment must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards (in other states, 1997 and later model year equipment must be designed, built, and equipped to meet
the U.S. EPA small off-road, spark ignition engines). MTD Consumer Group Inc must warrant the EECS on your off-road engine and equipment for the period of
time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your off-road engine and equipment.
Your EECS may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves,
canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated emission-related components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, MTD Consumer Group Inc will repair your off-road engine and equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
MTD Consumer Group Inc.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the off-road engine and equipment owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. MTD Consumer
Group Inc recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your off-road engine and equipment, but MTD Consumer Group Inc cannot deny
warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
As the off-road engine and equipment owner, you should however be aware that MTD Consumer Group Inc may deny you warranty coverage if your off-road
engine and equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your off-road engine and equipment to MTD Consumer Group Inc’s distribution center or service center as soon as the problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage,
you should contact the MTD Consumer Group Inc Service Department at 1-800-800-7310.
