The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) and Tecumseh- Power Company are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission Control Systems Warranty on your new small off-road engine. In California, new 1995 and later small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog stan- dards. In other states, new 1997 and later model year engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. TecumsehPower Company will war- rant the emission control system on your small off-road engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, air cleaner assembly, ignition system, exhaust system, crankcase breather assembly and, the evaporative control system. Also included may be the compression release system and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, TecumsehPower Company will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE
Emission control systems on 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. In other states, 1997 and later model year engines are also warranted for two years. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by TecumsehPower Company.
OWNER’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, but TecumsehPower Company will not deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to provide written evidence of the perfor- mance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should, however, be aware that TecumsehPower Company may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part thereof has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper main- tenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a TecumsehPower Authorized Service Outlet
(any TecumsehPower Registered Service Dealer, TecumsehPower Authorized Service Distributor or TecumsehPower Central Warehouse Distributor) as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either an Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer and/or TecumsehPower Company, c/o Service Manager, 900 North Street, Grafton, WI 53024-1499. Telephone 1-262- 377-2700 [or in USA/Canada call 1-800-558-5402].
IMPORTANT NOTE
This warranty statement explains your rights and obliga- tions under the Emission Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”) which is provided to you by TecumsehPower Company pursuant to California law. TecumsehPower Company also provides to original purchasers of new TecumsehPower engines the TecumsehPower Company Limited Warranties for New TecumsehPower Engines and Electronic Ignition Modules. The TecumsehPower Company Limited Warranties for New TecumsehPower Engines and Electronic Ignition Modules (“Tecumseh- Power Company Warranty”) are located on the back cover of the Operator’s Manual, enclosed with all new TecumsehPower engines. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. To the extent that there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the TecumsehPower Company Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in any cir- cumstances in which the TecumsehPower Company Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the TecumsehPower Company War- ranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can only be performed by a TecumsehPower Authorized Servicing Dealer. At the time of requesting warranty service, evidence must be presented of the date of sale to the original purchaser. The purchaser shall pay any charges for making service calls and/or for transport- ing the products to and from the place where the inspec- tion and/or warranty work is performed. The purchaser shall be responsible for any damage or loss incurred in connection with the transportation of any engine or any part(s) thereof submitted for inspection and/or warranty work.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact TecumsehPower Company at 1-262-377-2700 or in USA/Canada call 1-800-558-5402.
