Warranty

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), and Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., are
pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your
new 2014/2015 small off-road engine/equipment. In California, new
equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In
other states, new small off-road engines/equipment must be designed,
built, and equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regula-
tions for small off-road engines/equipment. The small off-road engine/
equipment 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.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., must warrant the emission control
system on your small off-road engine/equipment for the period of time
listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine/equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor
or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel
tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, fuel lines, fuel caps, canisters,
vapor hoses, and other associated components. Also included may be
hoses, belts and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
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.
(California Only)
Where a warrantable condition exists, Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., will repair your small off-road engine/equipment at no cost to you,
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE
This 1995 and later small off-road emissions control system is war-
ranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Homelite Consumer
Products, Inc.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the small off-road engine/equipment owner, you are respon-
sible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your operator’s manual. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., recom-
mends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
small off-road engine/equipment, but Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the small off-road engine/equipment owner, you should be aware,
however, that Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., may deny you war-
ranty coverage if your small off-road engine/equipment or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine/
equipment to a service center as soon as a problem exists. The war-
ranty 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 respon-
sibilities, you should contact a Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.,
Customer Representative at 1-800-242-4672 or www.homelite.com.
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is
delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Homelite Consumer Prod-
ucts, Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that your small off-road engine/equipment is designed,
built, and equipped at the time of sale to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board or the
United States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it 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
from the date the small off-road engine/equipment is purchased by the
initial purchaser. 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 Homelite
Consumer Products, Inc.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as
follows: Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for two years. If any
such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or
replaced at any HOMELITE
®
Authorized Service Center at no charge.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair
or replace as necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty
coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for
the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that
part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted
for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement
point, and will be repaired or replaced at any HOMELITE
®
Authorized
Service Center for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at
any authorized HOMELITE
®
Authorized Service Center, including any
distribution center that may be franchised to service the subject en-
gines. Any diagnostic work done at a HOMELITE
®
Authorized Service
Center 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. Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air
Resource Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-
on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., will not be liable to warrant failures
of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or
modified part.
The Emission Parts List specifically defines the emission-related
warranted parts. Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., will provide any
documents that describe its warranty procedures or policies within five
days upon request by the California Air Resources Board.
