Warranty
Product Warranty
Product warranty is provided as part of John Deere's support program for customers who operate and maintain their equipment as described in this manual.
Engine related warranties stated in this manual refer only to emissions-related parts and components of your engine. The complete engine warranty, less emission-related parts and components, is provided separately as the "Limited Warranty for New John Deere Commercial & Consumer Equipment".
John Deere, Federal and California Emissions Control System Warranty Statement (Small Off-Road Gas Engines)
California Air Resources Board (CARB), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and John Deere are pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your small off-road engine and equipment. In California, 2006 and later small off-road engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. (In other states, 1997 and later model year equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road, spark ignition engines.) John Deere must warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine and equipment for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine and equipment.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose, fuel-injection system and ignition system. Also included may be connectors and other emissions related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, John Deere will repair your small off-road engine and equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Small off-road engines and equipment are warranted relative to emissions control parts for two years. If any emissions related part on your engine or equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere.
As the small off-road engine and equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. John Deere recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine and equipment, but John Deere cannot deny warranty solely for lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine and equipment owner, you should however be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine and equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine and equipment to an authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer 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 your John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer, or the John Deere Customer Contact Center at 1-800-537-8233.
John Deere warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the small off-road engine and equipment is:
· Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for 2006 and later engines and equipment, and all applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 1997 and later equipment engines; and
· Free from defects in materials and workmanship which can cause the failure of an emissions warranted part for a period of two years after the engine and equipment is delivered to the initial retail purchaser. John Deere is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part during the warranty period. If any emissions related part on your engine or equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere.
Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed below (the emissions control system parts) to the extent these parts were present on the engine and equipment purchased.
· Carburetor and internal parts (or fuel injection system).
· Air/fuel ratio feedback and control system.
· Cold start enrichment system.
· Fuel hose, line, fittings, clamps.
· Magneto or electronic ignition system.
· Spark advance/retard system.
Miscellaneous Items Used in Above Systems
· Vacuum and temperature switches.
· Hoses, belts, connectors and assemblies.
Since emissions related parts may vary slightly from model to model, certain models may not contain all of these parts and certain models may contain functionally equivalent parts.
Warranty service shall be provided during customary business hours at any authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer. Repair or replacement of any warranted part will be performed at no charge to the owner, including diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer. Any parts replaced under this warranty shall become the property of John Deere.
a) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance is warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty period.
b) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" is warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty period.
c) Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance is warranted as to defects only for the period of time up to the first scheduled replacement for that part. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty is warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
d) Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emissions control devices and systems, which are being done at the customer's expense, may be performed by any repair establishment or individual; however, warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer.
e) Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in the performance of any non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of John Deere.
Warranty coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the failure of any warranted part still under warranty.
This Emissions Control System Warranty shall NOT cover any of the following:
a) Repair or replacement required as a result of (i) misuse or neglect, (ii) improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, (iii) repairs improperly performed or replacements improperly installed, (iv) use of replacement parts or accessories not conforming to John Deere specifications which adversely affect performance and/or durability, (v) alterations or modifications not recommended or approved in writing by John Deere.
b) Replacement parts, other services and adjustments necessary for normal maintenance.
c) Transportation to and from the John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer, or service calls made by the Retailer.
a) The liability of John Deere under this Emissions Control System Warranty is limited solely to the remedying of defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not cover inconvenience or loss of use of the small off-road engine and equipment or transportation of the equipment to or from the John Deere Commercial And Consumer Equipment Retailer. JOHN DEERE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER EXPENSE, LOSS, OR DAMAGE, WHETHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (EXCEPT AS LISTED ABOVE UNDER "COVERAGE") OR EXEMPLARY ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
b) NO EXPRESS EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY IS GIVEN BY JOHN DEERE WITH RESPECT TO THE ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT.
c) No dealer is authorized to modify this Federal, California and John Deere Emissions Control System Warranty.

TO SECURE WARRANTY SERVICE
The purchaser must request warranty service from a John Deere dealer authorized to sell John Deere batteries, and present the battery to the dealer with the top cover plate codes intact.
FREE REPLACEMENT
Any new battery which becomes unserviceable (not merely discharged) due to defects in material or workmanship within 90 days of purchase will be replaced free of charge. Installation costs will be covered by warranty if (1) the unserviceable battery was installed by a John Deere factory or dealer, (2) failure occurs within 90 days of purchase, and (3) the replacement battery is installed by a John Deere dealer.
PRO RATA ADJUSTMENT
Any new battery which becomes unserviceable (not merely discharged) due to defects in material or workmanship more than 90 days after purchase, but before the expiration of the applicable adjustment period, will be replaced upon payment of the battery's current list price less a pro rata credit for unused months of service. The applicable adjustment period is determined from the Warranty Code printed at the top of the battery and chart below. Installation costs are not covered by warranty after 90 days from the date of purchase.

LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND PURCHASER'S REMEDIES
To the extent permitted by law, neither John Deere nor any company affiliated with it makes any warranties, representations, or promises as to the quality, performance or freedom from defect of the products covered by this warranty. IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE APPLICABLE ADJUSTMENT PERIOD SET FORTH HERE. THE PURCHASER'S ONLY REMEDIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE BREACH OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY WARRANTY ON JOHN DEERE BATTERIES ARE THOSE SET FORTH HERE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEALER, JOHN DEERE OR ANY COMPANY AFFILIATED WITH JOHN DEERE BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. (Note: Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So these limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.) This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have some rights which vary from state to state.
NO DEALER WARRANTY
The selling dealer makes no warranty of it's own and the dealer has no authority to make any representation or promise on behalf of John Deere, or to modify the terms or limitations of this warranty in any way.
