STATEMENT
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and Sears Brands LLC (Sears) is pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system's warranty
on your 2008 model year and later small off-road (equipment type) engine.
In California, new equipment that use small off-engines
must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards Sears must warrant the evaporative emission control
system on your small off-road Lawn & Garden engine 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. The displacement
of your small off road engine is less than 80 cc.
Manufacturer's
Warranty Coverage
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related
part on your equipment
is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.
Owner's Warranty
Responsibilities
• As the small off-road Lawn & Garden engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's
manual. Sears recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your Lawn & Garden Engine but Sears cannot deny
warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
• As the small off-road Lawn & Garden engine owner, you should however be aware that the Sears may deny you warranty coverage if your
fuel tank has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your Lawn & Garden fuel tank to Sears 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 Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME
®.
Defects Warranty Requirements
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment
is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage.
The fuel tank 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 causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
(c)
The warranty on evaporative
emissions-related
parts will be interpreted
as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required 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 Sears. 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 Sears. 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) Not withstanding
the provisions of subsection
(4) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided at distribution centers that are
franchised to service the subject engines or 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), Sears 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 disallowing
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) Sears shall provide any documents that describe the warranty procedures or policies within five working days of request by the Air
Resources Board.
