B. General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Tecumseh
Products Co. warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of
the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent
purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is:
1. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations by the Air Resources Board
pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5,
Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship
which, at any time during the ECS Warranty period,
will cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to
be identical in all materials respects to the part as
described in the engine manufacturer's application for
certification.
C. The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related
parts on your engine, as follows:
1. Any warranted, emissions-related parts which are not
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Operation/Maintenance Instructions shall be
warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such
part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be
repaired or replaced by Tecumseh Products Co.
according to Subsection 4 below. Any such part
repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be
warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty
Period.
2. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is
scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in
the Operation/Maintenance Instructions shall be
warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement
in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or
replace as necessary," shall not reduce the ECS
Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced
under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Operation/Maintenance Instructions, shall be
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
shall be repaired or replaced by Tecumseh Products
Co. according to Subsection 4 below. Any such
emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the remainder of
the ECS Warranty period prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for such emissions-related part.
4. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions
related part under this ECS Warranty shall be
performed at no charge at a Tecumseh Authorized
Service Outlet.
5.
The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor
which leads to the determination that a part covered
by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that
such diagnostic work is performed at a Tecumseh
Authorized Service Outlet.
6. Tecumseh Products Co. shall be liable for damages to
other original engine components or approved
modifications proximately caused by a failure under
warranty of an emission-related part covered by the
ECS warranty.
7. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Tecumseh
Products Co. shall maintain a supply of warranted
emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected
demand for such emission-related parts.
8. Any Tecumseh Products Co. authorized or approved
emission-related replacement part may be used in the
performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or
repair and will be provided without charge to the
owner. Such use shall not reduce Tecumseh Products
Co. ECS Warranty obligations.
9. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used
to modify or repair a Tecumseh Products Co. engine.
Such use voids this ECS Warranty shall be sufficient
grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty Claim.
Tecumseh Products Co. shall not be liable hereunder
for failures of any warranted parts of a Tecumseh
Products Co. engine caused by the use of such an
unapproved add-on or modified part.
