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 new HOMELITE brand gasoline-powered product complies with all
applicable U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and State of California emis-
sions regulations.
The evaporative emissions portion of this coverage, as described below,
is provided by Homelite Consumer Products, Inc. Separate emissions
warranty coverage for other emissions-related components is provided
by the engine manufacturer, as stated in a separate "Emission Control
System Warranty" included with this product. Of course, this product also
includes a warranty that is not limited to emissions-related components,
as described elsewhere in this operator's manual.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system's
warranty on your 2011 model year small off-road equipment. 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. Homelite
Consumer Products, Inc., must warrant the evaporative emission control
system on your small off-road equipment for the period listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of
your equipment.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as:
carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor
hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. For engines
less than or equal to 80 cc, only the fuel tank is subject to the evaporative
emission control warranty requirements of this section.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for three years. If any
evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part
will be repaired or replaced by Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road equipment owner, you are responsible for perfor-
mance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road equipment, but
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the
lack of receipts.
As the small off-road equipment owner, you should, however, be aware
that Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., may deny you warranty cover-
age if your small off-road equipment or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road equipment to
a Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., distribution center or service
center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., at 1-800-242-4672.
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The equipment
must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner
that the evaporative emission control system when installed was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the
failure of a warranted part for a period of three years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be interpreted
as follows:
WARRANTY
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as re-
quired maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted
for the warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). If any such part
fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or
replaced by the manufacturer issuing the warranty. Any such part
repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for a
time not less than the remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in
the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty period
defined in subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written instructions
to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" will not reduce the
period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the
remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted for the
period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the
part must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer issuing the
warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must
be warranted for a time not less than the remainder of the period
prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty
provisions of this article must be performed at no charge to the
owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) above, warranty
services or repairs must be provided at distribution centers that are
franchised to service the subject equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to
the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided
that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system's warranty
period set out in subsection (b)(2), the manufacturer issuing the
warranty must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to
meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the
performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be
provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the
warranty obligations of the manufacturer issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disal-
lowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this article. The
manufacturer issuing the warranty will not be liable under this
Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of
an add-on or modified part.
(10) The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall provide any documents
that describe the warranty procedures or policies within five working
days of request by the Air Resources Board.
