WARRANTY EPA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS The EPA and SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. are pleased to explain the emission (where "emissions" is understood to mean both exhaust and evaporative emissions) control system warranty on your 2011 model year and later small off-road engine (SORE). In USA, new SORE must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. must warrant the ECS on your SORE for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your SORE. Your ECS may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated emission-related components. Where a warrantable condition exists, SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. will repair your SORE at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: This emission (or emissions) control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the SORE owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual. SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE, but SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts. As the SORE owner, you should however be aware that SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. may deny you warranty coverage if your SORE or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an authorized SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. Servicing Center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed within a reasonable amount of time not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty coverage, contact Homelite Consumer Products, Inc. at 1-800242-4672 or write to the following address: Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., 1428 Pearman Dairy Road, Anderson, SC 29625. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE: SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the SORE is: Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD.'s application for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the SORE is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service. The warranty period is two years. Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows: (1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If the part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. According to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period. (2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions 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. (3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. according to subsection (4) below. 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. (4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions herein must be performed at a warranty station at no charge to the owner. (5) Notwithstanding the provisions herein, warranty services or repairs will be provided at all of our distribution centers that are franchised to service the subject engines or equipment.

(9) Any replacement part may 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 SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. (10) 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 ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing warranty claims. SUMEC MACHINERY & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
