California / EPA Emission Control Warranty Statement

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board, the Environmental Protection Agency and MTD LLC (MTD) are pleased to explain the emission

control system warranty on your 2005 and later small off-road engine. New small off-road engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards. MTD must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road engine for
the periods 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 or fuel-injected system, the ignition system, and catalytic

converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, MTD will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and

labor.

The 2005 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 my MTD.

Owners 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. MTD recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but MTD 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 however should be aware that MTD may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

• You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a MTD 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

nearest location please contact MTD at:

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.

diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized MTD Service Center.
