The following California Air Resources Board (CARB) statement only applies to model numbers required to meet
the CARB requirements.
HOMELITE CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INC., LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT FOR FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS NON-ROAD AND SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINES
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., are pleased to explain the Emissions
Control System Warranty on your 2011 model year non-road or 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
2000 and later model year non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped
at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The
non-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 two years of engine
use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your non-road or small off-road
engine for the period of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance of your non-road or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor 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, Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., will re-
pair your non-road or small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis,
parts, and labor performed at an authorized service center for HOMELITE
outdoor products.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This product's emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any
emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the perfor-
mance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual. Homelite Con-
sumer Products, Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your non-road or small off-road engine, but Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., can-
not deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the perfor-
mance of all scheduled maintenance. 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 Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,
that Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if your
non-road or 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 non-road or 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 responsibilities, you
should contact a Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., Customer Representative at
1-800-242-4672.
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. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.,
warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your non-
road or 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 two years from the date the non-road or
small off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser.
(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 Emissions
Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List set forth below is warranted for two
years. If any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced at
any HOMELITE
®
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 Emissions Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts
List 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 replacement point, and will be
repaired or replaced at any HOMELITE
until that replacement point is reached.
WARRANTY
®
Authorized Service Center for no charge
®
Page 14 — English
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any autho-
rized HOMELITE
Authorized Service Center, including any distribution center that
®
may be franchised to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic work done at a
HOMELITE
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
equivalent 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. Homelite Consumer Products, 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. Homelite Consumer Products,
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 California Air Resources Board's Emission Warranty Parts List specifically
defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA's regulations do not include a
parts list, but the EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the
parts listed below.) Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., will provide any documents
that describe its warranty procedures or policies within five days upon request by
brand
the California Air Resources Board.
