(California Air Resources Board), Environment Canada
and Husqvarna Forest & Garden are pleased to explain
the emissions control system’s warranty on your 2013-
2014* 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

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-

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.
