Federal Emission Control Warranty Statement
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Lawn-Boy are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 1997 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engine. 1997 and later model year utility/lawn/garden
equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small
nonroad engines. The equipment 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.
Lawn-Boy must warrant the emission control system on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine for the period of time
listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your utility/lawn/garden equipment
engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, and connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Lawn-Boy will repair your engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and
labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The 1997 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are warranted for two years from the date of delivery. If any
emission–related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by
Lawn-Boy free of charge.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. Lawn-Boy recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your equipment,
but Lawn-Boy cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
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 the engine manufacturer.
As the engine owner, you should, however, be aware that Lawn-Boy may deny you warranty coverage if your
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications or parts.
You are responsible for presenting your equipment engine to a LAWN-BOY Service Dealer as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty 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 responsibilities or if you need a referral to a
Lawn-Boy Service Dealer, please feel free to contact us at the following address:
Warranted Parts:
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to a retail purchaser. The manufacturer
warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the engine 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.
Failures caused by abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance are not covered. The use of add–on or modified parts can be
grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer is not liable to cover failures of warranted parts caused by the
use of add–on or modified parts. Lawn-Boy is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a
warranted part still under warranty. The owner is responsible for the performance of the required maintenance, as defined by
the manufacturer in the written instructions.
