WARRANTY

1. FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), together with Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc., are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your new model year small off-road engines. In the United States (except California), new small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the Federal’s stringent anti-smog standards. Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road 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, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: The 2009 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. OPERATOR’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. distribution center 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, you should contact Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. at 1-800-849-1297 IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. pursuant to EPA and federal law. See also the Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Limited Warranties for additional product warranties, also provided to you by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Warranty describes important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by a Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. The purchaser/owner shall be responsible for any expenses or other charges incurred for service calls and/or transportation of the product to/from the inspection or repair facilities. The purchaser/owner shall also be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.

WARRANTY

II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 2009 and later model engines: (a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 2009 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter. (b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is... (1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the EPA pursuant to their respective authority, and (2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship, which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer's application for certification. The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows: (1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator’s Manual must be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period. (2) Any warranted emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Operator’s Manual must be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part. (4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility. (5) When the engine is inspected by a Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable. (6) Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty. (7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts. (8) Any Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. 's ECS Warranty obligations. (9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts may not be used to modify or repair a

WARRANTY

Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products NA, Inc. engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.
