John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. LIMITED WARRANTY FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. are pleased to
explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine. In California, new 1995 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment
engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state's stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 1997 and later model year utility/lawn/
garden equipment 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
equipment 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. John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. must warrant the emission control system on your utility/
lawn/garden equipment engine for the period of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your utility/lawn/
garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter. Also included may
be hoses, bolts, and connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. will repair your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine at no cost to you, including
diagnosis (if the diagnostic work is performed at an authorized dealer), parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 1995 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are warranted for two years in California. In other states, 1997 and later model year utility/
lawn/garden equipment engines are also warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the utility/lawn/garden equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. John
Deere Consumer Products, Inc. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine, but John
Deere Consumer Products, Inc. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance 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 the engine manufacturer.
(b) As the utility/lawn/garden equipment engine owner, you should be aware, however, that John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. may deny you warranty coverage if
your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine to a HOMELITE® service center 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 John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. Customer Repre-
sentative at 1-704-588-3200.
COVERAGE:
John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. warranty to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine will
be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. also warrants to the initial
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your utility/lawn/garden engine 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.
The 1995 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are warranted for two years in California. If all other states for 1997 and later model years, EPA
requires manufacturers to warrant utility/lawn/garden equipment engines for two years. These warranty periods will begin on the date the utility/lawn/garden
equipment engine is purchased by the initial purchaser. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be replaced by John Deere
Consumer Products, Inc. at no cost to the owner.
John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. engine dealer or warranty
station. Any authorized work done at an authorized dealer or warranty station 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. John Deere Consumer Products, Inc. is liable for damages to other engine
components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
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 EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the parts listed below.)
These warranted parts are: Carbureeetor, Spark Plug, Ignition, Air filter and Fuel filter.
