CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY 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 2007 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.

(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.
