California and U.S. EPA Emissions Control System
Warranty Statement (O󰀨-Road Gas Engines)
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, John Deere, and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency are pleased to explain the
emissions control system’s warranty on your model year 2021 or 2022
spark ignited o󰀨-road engine equipment. In California, new equipment
that uses small or large (less than 1 liter) spark ignited o󰀨-road
engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s
stringent anti-smog standards. John Deere must warrant the
emissions control system on your spark ignited o󰀨-road engine
equipment for the period listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment leading to
the failure of the evaporative emissions system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as: carburetors
or fuel-injection system, ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel
tanks, valves, lters, clamps, connectors, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and
fuel vapors) and other associated components. Also included may be
hoses, belts, sensors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, John Deere will repair your
spark ignited o󰀨-road engine equipment at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
This emissions control system is warranted for two years for models
S100, S110, S120, S130, S140, S150, S160, S170, S180, S220,
Z335E, Z345M, Z345R, Z355E, Z355R, Z365R, Z375R, Z515E,
Z545R, and three years for all other models referenced in this
operator’s manual. If any emissions related part on your equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
● As the spark ignited o󰀨-road engine equipment owner, you are
responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed
in your Operator’s Manual. John Deere recommends that you retain
all receipts covering maintenance on your spark ignited o󰀨-road
engine equipment, but John Deere cannot deny warranty coverage
solely for lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
● As the spark ignited o󰀨-road engine equipment owner, you should
be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your
spark ignited o󰀨-road engine equipment or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved
modications.
● You are responsible for presenting your spark ignited o󰀨-road
engine equipment to a John Deere Turf and Utility distribution
center or service center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to
exceed 30 days. If you have a question about your emissions
warranty coverage, how to make an emissions warranty claim or
how to make arrangements for emissions-related authorized
repairs, you should contact your John Deere Turf and Utility retailer,
or the John Deere Customer Contact Center at 1-800-537-8233, or
email John Deere from https://www.deere.com/en/our-company/
contact-us/.
General Emissions Warranty Coverage
The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser. John Deere warrants to the ultimate purchaser
and each subsequent purchaser that the spark ignited o󰀨-road engine
equipment is:
● Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to all applicable
regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board;
● Designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale to
the ultimate purchaser with applicable U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency regulations under 40 CFR Parts 1054 and 1060:
and,
● Free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause such
engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for the
Emissions Control System Warranty period provided herein.
● For owners located more than 100 miles from a John Deere
authorized service center, John Deere will pay either for shipping
costs to and from an authorized service center, provide for a service
technician to come to the owner to make the warranty repair, or pay
for the repair to be made at a local non-authorized service center.
These provisions do not apply to Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
Emissions Warranty Interpretation
● Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required by the maintenance instructions in the Operator’s Manual
is warranted as provided herein. If any such part fails during the
period of warranty coverage it will be repaired or replaced by John
