EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. (Sears), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA)
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. EPA and
Sears are pleased to explain the Emissions Control System
Warranty on your small offroad engine (SORE). In
California, new small offroad engines 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. Sears 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, Sears will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
Sears, Roebuck and Co. Emissions Control Defects
Warranty Coverage
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 Sears.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
Operating and Maintenance Instructions. Sears recommends
that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on
your small off-road engine, but Sears 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 Sears 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.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road
engine to an Authorized Sears Service Dealer as soon as a
problem exists.
The undisputed 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 Sears Service
Representative at 1-800-469-4663.
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.
