The U. S. EPA and MTD are pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your model year 2005 and later small off-road engine.
New small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the stringent anti-smog standards. MTD must warranty the emission
control system on your engine for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small
off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, exhaust system, and other associated emis-
sion-related components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, MTD will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to your including diagnosis, parts and labor.
This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or
replaced by MTD.
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner's Manual. MTD
recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenances on your small off-road engine, but MTD can not deny warranty solely for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance to all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that MTD may deny your warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or 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 MTD Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranted
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 MTD Service Representative at 1-800-800-7310
