The California Air Resources Board and Ryobi
Outdoor Products (ROP), is pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your
1995 and later lawn and garden equipment
engine. In California, new  lawn and garden
equipment engines must be designed, built 
and equipped to meet the State's stringent 
anti-smog standards. ROP must warrant the
emission control system on your lawn and
garden equipment engine for the periods of 
time listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of 
your 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, ROP will
repair your lawn and garden equipment engine 
at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts 
and labor.

The 1995 and later utility and lawn and garden
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 ROP.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the lawn and garden equipment engine 
owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance
listed in your operator's manual. ROP
recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your lawn and
garden equipment engine, but ROP cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts
or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance. 

As the lawn and garden equipment engine
owner, you should however be aware that
ROP may deny you warranty coverage if your
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 lawn
and garden equipment engine to a Ryobi
Authorized Service Center 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 call 1-800-345-8746.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

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

The manufacturer warrants to the initial owner
and each subsequent purchaser, that the
engine is free from defects in material and
workmanship which cause the failure of a
warranted part for a period of two years.

Repair or replacement of warranted part will
be performed at no charge to the owner at 
an Authorized Ryobi Service Center. For the
nearest location, please contact Ryobi at: 
1-800-345-8746.

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for
replacement, as required maintenance which
is scheduled only for regular inspection to the
effect of "Repair or replace as necessary" is
warranted for the warranty period. Any
warranted part which is scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance will be
warranted for the period of time up to the first
scheduled replacement point for that part.

The owner will not be charged for diagnostic
labor which leads to the determination that a
warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic
work is performed at an Authorized Ryobi
Service Center. 

The manufacturer is liable for damages to
other engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part still under warranty.

Failures caused by abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance are not covered under warranty.

The use of add-on or modified parts can be
grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The
manufacturer is not liable to cover failures or
warranted parts caused by the use of add-on
or modified parts.

In order to file a claim, go to your nearest
Authorized Ryobi Service Center. Warranty
services or repairs will be provided at all
Authorized Ryobi Service Centers.

Any manufacturer approved replacement part
may be used in the performance of any
warranty maintenance or repair of emission
related parts and will be provided without
charge to the owner. Any replacement part
that is equivalent in performance or durability
may be used in non-warranty maintenance or
repair and will not reduce the warranty
obligations of the manufacturer.

The following components are included in the
emission related warranty of the engine, air
filter, carburetor, primer, fuel lines, fuel pick
up/fuel filter, ignition module, spark plug and
muffler.
