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 Equipment”.
California and U.S. EPA Emissions Control System
Warranty Statement (Off-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 2013 or 2014 spark ignited
off-road engine equipment. In California, new equipment that uses small
or large (less than 1 liter) spark ignited off-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
off-road engine equipment for the period listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as: carburetors or
fuel-injection system, ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks,
valves, filters, clamps, connectors, 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 off-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. 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 off-road 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 off-road engine equipment, but John
Deere can not deny warranty solely for lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• As the spark ignited off-road engine equipment owner, you should
however be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if
your spark ignited off-road equipment or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your spark ignited off-road engine
equipment to an authorized John Deere Turf and Utility 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 a question
regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact your John Deere
Turf and Utility retailer, or the John Deere Customer Contact Center at 1-
800-537-8233, or e-mail John Deere from www.Deere.com.
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 off-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 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 a period of two
years of engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser.
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 for two
years. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage it will
be repaired or replaced by John Deere. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
maintenance instructions in the Operator’s Manual is warranted for two
years. A statement in the Operator’s Manual to the effect of “repair or
replace as necessary” does not reduce the period of warranty coverage.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator’s Manual is 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 will be repaired or
replaced by John Deere. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty is warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
• Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty will be
performed at no charge to the owner at any authorized John Deere Turf
and Utility retailer.
• The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the
determination that a warranted part is defective, provided such work is
performed by John Deere.
• John Deere will repair damages to other engine components proximately
caused by a failure under warranty of any emissions-related warranted
part.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air
Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on
or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. John
Deere will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by
the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
