California, United States and Canada Emissions Control Defects
Warranty Statement
California, U.S. EPA, and DUCAR are pleased to explain the
Emissions Control System Warranty on your small off-road engine
(SORE). In California, new small off-road engines for 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. DUCAR
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, DUCAR will repair your small
off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
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 DUCAR.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operation
and Maintenance Instructions, DUCAR recommends that you retain
all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine,
but DUCAR 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 DUCAR 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.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact a DUCAR Service Representative.
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.
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions
Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the DUCAR
engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the Operating
and Maintenance Instructions.
1. Warranted Parts
Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed
below (the emissions control systems parts) to the extent these
parts were present on the engine purchased.

2. Length of Coverage
DUCAR warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent
purchaser that the Warranted Parts shall be free from defects
in materials and workmanship which caused the failure of the
Warranted Parts for a period of two years from the date the engine
is delivered to a retail purchaser.
3. No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed no
charge to the owner, including diagnostic labor which leads to the
determination that a Warranted Part is defective, if the diagnostic
work is performed at an Authorized DUCAR Service Dealer. For
emissions warranty service, contact your nearest Homelite Authorized
Service Center by calling 1-800-242-4672 or log on to our website at

4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the provisions
of the DUCAR Engine Warranty Policy. Warranty coverage shall
be excluded for failures of Warranted Parts which are not original
DUCAR Engine Warranty Policy. DUCAR is not liable to cover
failures of Warranted Parts censed by the use of add-on, non-
original, or modified parts.
5. Maintenance
Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall
be warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any Warranted
Part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
shall be warranted as to defects only for the period of time up to
the first scheduled replacement for that part. Any replacement
part that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used
in the performance of any maintenance or repairs. The owner is
responsible for the performance of all required maintenance, as
defined in the DUCAR Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
6. Consequential Coverage
Coverage hereunder shall extend to the failure of any engine
components caused by the failure of any Warranted Part still under
warranty.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index
Information On your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) Emissions Standard must display information regarding the
Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. DUCAR makes this
information available to the consumer on our emissions labels. The
engine emissions label will indicate certification information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of
actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emissions
compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the
Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following categories
are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual
engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual
engine running time.
DUCAR engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards. For Phase
2 certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on
the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number of operating
hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emissions
requirements.
For engines less than 225cc displacement.
Emissions Compliance Period = 125 Hours
For engines of 225cc or more displacement.
Emissions Compliance Period = 250 Hours
