Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. (Sears), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA)
Emissions Control System Warranty Statement
(Owner's Defect Warranty Rights and Obligations)
In the USA and Canada, a 24-hour hotline, 1-800-469-4663, has a menu of pre-recorded messages offering you product maintenance
information.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and Sears are
pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your
small offroad engine (SORE). In California, new small offroad
engines model year 2006 and later must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.
Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines
certified for model year 1997 and later must meet similar standards set
forth by the U.S. EPA. Sears must warrant the emissions control
system on your 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 emissions control system includes parts such as the
carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and
catalytic converter. Also included may be connectors and other
emissions related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair your small
off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and
labor.
Sears, Roebuck and Co. Emissions Control Defects Warranty
Coverage
Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions control
parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set
forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the part
will be repaired or replaced by Sears.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operating
and Maintenance Instructions. Sears recommends that you retain all
your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine,
but Sears 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 however be aware
that Sears 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 an
Authorized Sears Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists.
The undisputed 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 contact a Sears Service Representative
at 1-800-469-4663.
The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged
on normal engine performance. The warranty is not related to an in-
use emissions test.
