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.

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.
