pleased
to explain
the Emission
Control

Warranty
on your
model year 2000 and later small off-road engine (SORE).
In California,
new small off-road
engines
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

certified for model
year 1997 and later must meet similar standards
set forth by the U.S.
EPA. Sears must warrant
the emission
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 emission
control
system
includes
parts such as the carburetor,
air cleaner,
ignition
system,
muffler
and catalytic
converter.
Also in-
cluded
may be connectors
and other emission
related
assemblies.
Where
a warrantable
condition
exists,
Sears will repair your small
off-road
engine
at no cost to you including
diagnosis,
parts and la-
bor.

nance
or unapproved
modifications.

regarding
your warranty

and re-
sponsibilities,
