CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and Ryobi Outdoor
Products (ROP), are pleased to explain the emission
control system warranty on your 1995 and later small
off-road engine. In California, new small off-road
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 small off-
road engine for the periods of time listed below provid-
ed 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 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 small off-road engine at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
The 1995 and later small off-road 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 small off-road 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 small off-road 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 small off-road engine owner, you should how-
ever be aware that ROP may
deny you warranty coverage if your small
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modi-
fications.
• You are responsible for presenting your
small off-road 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,
