The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
o Any warranted part that is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the owner's
manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period
stated above. If any such part fails during the period
of warranty coverage, the part wilt be repaired or
replaced by Sears at no charge to the owner. Any such
part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the owner's manual supplied, is warranted
for the warranty period stated above. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the owner's manual supplied,
is 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 will be
repaired or replaced by Sears at no charge to the owner.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be
warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the
Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any
non exempted add on or modified parts by the owner
will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The
manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures of
warranted parts caused by the use of a non exempted
add on or modified part.
3. Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine
components caused by the failure of any warranted
emissions parts.
4. Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the
provisions of the Sears engine warranty policy.
Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of
emissions parts that are not original equipment
Sears parts or to parts that fail due to abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance as set forth in the Sears
engine warranty policy. Sears is not liable for warranty
coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the
use of add-on or modified parts.
Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period
and Air Inde× information On Your Small Off-Road
Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) small off-road Emissions Standard
must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. The engine manufacturer makes
this information available to the consumer on emissions
labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of
hours of actual running time for which the engine is certified
to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in
accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
The following categories are used:
Moderate: Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for
125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate: Engine is certified to be emissions compliant
for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended: Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for
500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20
to 25 hours per year. Therefore, the Emissions Durability
Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would
equate to 10 to 12 years.
Small off-road engines are certified to meet the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 or
Phase 3 emissions standards. The Emissions Compliance
Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label
indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine
has been shown to meet Federal emissions requirements.
For engines tess than 225 cc displacement.
Category C = 125 hours
Category B = 250 hours
Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Category C = 250 hours
Category B = 500 hours
Category A = 1000 hours
