YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Homelite Consumer

ranty on your 2012 model year non-road or small off-road engine. New 2012
model year non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped at the

non-road engine 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
non-road or small off-road engine for the period of time listed above provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your non-road
or small off-road engine.
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, and other associated components. Also included
may be hoses, belts and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Homelite Consumer Products, Inc.,
will repair your non-road or small off-road engine at no cost to you, includ-
ing diagnosis, parts, and labor performed at an authorized service center for

replaced by Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your non-road or small off-road engine, but Homelite

or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware,
however, that Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., may deny you warranty
coverage if your non-road or small off-road engine or a part has failed due
to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine
to an authorized service dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed

DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is de-
livered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Homelite Consumer Products,
Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that
your non-road or small off-road engine is designed, built, and equipped at the
time of sale to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by 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 non-road or
small off-road engine 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 inspection) fails during the period of
warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced at any HOMELITE
rized Service Center at no charge. Any such part repaired or replaced under
WARRANTY
WARRANTY

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
for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any
authorized HOMELITE
center that may be franchised to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic
work done at a HOMELITE
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.
