WARRANTY
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), and Techtronic Industries North America,
Inc., are pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty
on your new 2013/2014 small off-road engine. In California, new
equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In
other states, new small off-road engines must be designed, built, and
equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small
off-road engines. The small off-road engine must be free from defects
in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with
U.S. EPA standards for the first three years of engine use from the date
of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Techtronic Industries North America,
Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road
engine for the period of time listed above 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 carbure-
tor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters,
fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated
components. Also included may be hoses, belts and connectors, and
other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc., will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you,
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE
This 1995 and later small off-road emissions control system is war-
ranted for three years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Techtronic Industries
North America, Inc.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s
manual. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small
off-road engine, but Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.,
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,
that Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., 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.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an
authorized service dealer 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 respon-
sibilities, you should contact a Techtronic Industries North America,
Inc., Customer Representative at 1-800-860-4050.
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment
is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that your small off-road engine is designed, built, and
equipped at the time of sale to conform with all applicable regulations
adopted by the California Air Resources Board or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from defects in
materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform
with applicable regulations for a period of three years from the date
the small off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser. Any
replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance and
durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and
shall not reduce the warranty obligations of Techtronic Industries
North America, Inc.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as
follows: Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for three years. If
any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular in-
spection) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired
or replaced at any RYOBI
®
Authorized Service Center at no charge.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair
or replace as necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty
coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for
the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted
for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replace-
ment point, and will be repaired or replaced at any RYOBI
®
Authorized
Service Center for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., shall remedy warranty de-
fects at any authorized RYOBI
®
Authorized Service Center, including
any distribution center that may be franchised to service the subject
engines. Any diagnostic work done at a RYOBI
®
Authorized Service
Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that
a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equiva-
lent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or
repairs on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge
to the owner if the part is still under warranty. Techtronic Industries
North America, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine components
caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air
Resource Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-
on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
The Emission Parts List specifically defines the emission-related war-
ranted parts. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will provide
any documents that describe its warranty procedures or policies
within five days upon request by the California Air Resources Board.
