YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), together with HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. are pleased to ex-
plain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new small off-road engine. New small
off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards
for the state of California and the federal government. HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS,
INC. will warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modifi cation or improper maintenance
of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition, intake and ex-
haust systems. HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. will repair your engine at no cost
to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emission control systems on 1997 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as
hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on
your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be per-
formed by a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all re-
quired maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes,
HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your engine. However, HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. cannot
deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion
of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that HUSQVAR-
NA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility
if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper main-
tenance or unapproved modifi cations, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not
made, supplied or approved by HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS
INC. Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a HUSQVARNA

OUTDOOR PRODUCTS INC. pursuant to California and federal law. See also the “Limited
Warranties for HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC.,” which is enclosed herewith on
a separate sheet, also provided to you by HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. The

confl ict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS,
INC. Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the HUSQVARNA
OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS
Warranty and the HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. Warranty describe important
rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC.
Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be
presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. The purchaser/owner
shall be responsible for any expenses or other charges incurred for service calls and/or trans-
portation of the product to/from the inspection or repair facilities. The purchaser/owner shall
also be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being
transported/shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.

SIBILITIES, YOU SHOULD CONTACT HUSQVARNA OUTDOOR PRODUCTS, INC. at
