FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

English – 21

IMPORTANT: 

 This product is compliant with U.S. EPA 

Phase 3 regulations for exhaust and evaporative 
emissions. To ensure EPA Phase 3 compliance, we 
recommend using only genuine Husqvarna brand 
replacement parts. Use of non-compliant replacement 
parts is a violation of federal law.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND 
OBLIGATIONS

The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), CARB 
(California Air Resources Board), Environment Canada 
and Husqvarna Forest & Garden are pleased to explain 
the emissions control system’s warranty on your 2015-
2016* small off-road engine. In U.S. and Canada, small 
off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to 
meet the applicable Federal or California stringent anti-
smog standards. Husqvarna Forest & Garden must 
warrant the emissions control system on your small off-
road engine for the period 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, 
fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic 
convertor, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, 
canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and 
other associated emission-related components. For 
engines less than or equal to 80 cc, only the fuel tank is 
subject to the evaporative emission control warranty 
requirements of this section (California only). Where a 
warrantable condition exists, Husqvarna Forest & Garden 
will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you 
including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER

S WARRANTY 

COVERAGE

The emissions control system is warranted for two years. 
If any emissions-related part on your small off-road 
engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced 
by Husqvarna Forest & Garden.

OWNER

S WARRANTY 

RESPONSIBILITIES

As the small off-road engine owner, you are 
responsible for performance of the required 
maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. 
Husqvarna Forest & Garden recommends that you 
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small 
off-road engine, but Husqvarna Forest & Garden 
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or 
your failure to ensure the performance of all 
scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should 
however be aware that Husqvarna Forest & Garden 
may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road 
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or 
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road 
engine to a Husqvarna Forest & Garden 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 any questions regarding your warranty 
coverage, you should contact Husqvarna Forest & 
Garden in USA at  1-800-487-5951, in CANADA at 1-
800-805-5523 or send e-mail correspondence to 
[email protected].

WARRANTY COMMENCEMENT DATE

The warranty period begins on the date the engine or 
equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.

LENGTH OF COVERAGE

Husqvarna Forest & Garden warrants to the ultimate 
purchaser and each subsequent owner that the engine or 
equipment is designed, built, and equipped so as to 
conform with all applicable regulations adopted by EPA 
and CARB, and is free from defects in materials and 
workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part 
for a period of two years.

WHAT IS COVERED

REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

 Repair or 

replacement of any warranted part under the warranty 
must be performed at no charge to the owner at a 
warranty station. Warranty services or repairs will be 
provided at all Husqvarna Forest & Garden distribution 
centers that are franchised to service the subject engines. 
Throughout the emissions warranty period of two years, 
Husqvarna Forest & Garden must maintain a supply of 
warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand 
for such parts.

WARRANTY PERIOD

 Any warranted part that is 

scheduled for replacement as required in the 
maintenance schedule, is warranted for the period of time 
prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. 
If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, 
the part will be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna Forest 
& Garden at no cost. Any such part repaired or replaced 
under warranty is warranted for the remainder of the 
period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for 
the part. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for 
replacement as required in the maintenance schedule, is 
warranted for two years. If any such part fails during the 
period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired and 
replaced by Husqvarna Forest & Garden at no cost. Any 
such part repaired or replaced under the warranty is 
warranted for the remaining warranty period. Any 
warranted part that is scheduled only for regular 
inspection in the maintenance schedule will be warranted 
for a period of two years. A statement in such written 
instructions to the effect of ”repair or replace as 
necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty 
coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under 
warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty 
period.
