FEDERAL and/or CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
MTD Consumer Group Inc, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), and for those products certified for
sale in the state of California, the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control
system (ECS) warranty on your 2017-2018 small off-road equipment
(outdoor equipment). In California, new outdoor equipment must
be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent
anti-smog standards (in other states, outdoor equipment must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA small off-road
spark ignition engine regulations). MTD Consumer Group Inc must
warrant the ECS on your outdoor equipment for the period of
time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance of the outdoor equipment.
Your ECS may include parts such as fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps,
valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other
associated emission-related components.
Where a warrantable condition exists, MTD Consumer Group Inc
will repair your outdoor equipment at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years. If any
emission-related part on your outdoor equipment is defective, the
part will be repaired or replaced by MTD Consumer Group Inc.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the outdoor equipment owner, you are responsible for
performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s
manual. MTD Consumer Group Inc recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your outdoor equipment, but
MTD Consumer Group Inc cannot deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts.
As the outdoor equipment owner, you should however be aware
that MTD Consumer Group Inc may deny you warranty coverage if
your outdoor equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outdoor equipment to MTD
Consumer Group Inc’s 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 the
MTD Consumer Group Inc Service Department at 1-800-800-7310 or

GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE:
MTD Consumer Group Inc warrants to the ultimate purchaser and
each subsequent purchaser that the outdoor equipment is: (1)
designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations; and (2) free from defects in materials and workmanship
that cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
The warranty period begins on the date the outdoor equipment is
delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service.
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 MTD Consumer Group Inc 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 MTD Consumer Group Inc 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.
6. The outdoor equipment owner will not be charged for
diagnostic labor that is directly associated with diagnosis of
a defective, emission-related warranted part, provided that
such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
7. MTD Consumer Group Inc is liable for damages to other
engine or equipment components proximately caused by a
failure under warranty of any warranted part.
8. Throughout the off-road engine and equipment warranty
period stated above, MTD Consumer Group Inc will maintain
a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected
demand for such parts.
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 MTD Consumer Group Inc.
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 a warranty claim. MTD
Consumer Group Inc will not be liable to warrant failures of
warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on
or modified part.
WARRANTED PARTS:
The repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible
for warranty coverage may be excluded from such warranty
coverage if MTD Consumer Group Inc demonstrates that the
outdoor equipment has been abused, neglected, or improperly
maintained, and that such abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance
was the direct cause of the need for repair or replacement of the
part. That notwithstanding, any adjustment of a component that
has a factory installed, and properly operating, adjustment limiting
device is still eligible for warranty coverage. Further, the coverage
under this warranty extends only to parts that were present on the
off-road equipment purchased.
The following emission warranty parts are covered (if applicable):
1. Fuel Metering System
• Fuel pump
• Fuel tank
2. Evaporative Control
• Fuel hose
• Fuel hose clamps
• Tethered fuel cap
• Carbon canister
