The California Air Resources Board, the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency and Shindaiwa Inc. are pleased
to explain the exhaust and evaporative emission control
system warranty on your new small off-road (non-road)

In California, new small off-road engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent

non-road engines must meet the Federal EPA's stringent
anti-smog standards.
Shindaiwa Inc. must warrant the emission control sys-
tem on your small off-road engine for the periods of time
listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your engine exhaust and evaporative emission control

the ignition system and, if equipped, the catalytic con-
verter. These components are specifically listed below.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Shindaiwa Inc.
will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
