California Evaporative Emission Control Warranty Statement
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
Applies only to Model No. A-HB-25150 (C):
The California Air Resources Board and METL are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system's warranty
on your 2008 model year small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new SOREs must be designed, built and equipped
to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. METL must warrant the evaporative emission control system on your
SOREs for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your
SOREs.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves,
canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated components.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your
equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by METL.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the SORE owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual.
METL recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SOREs, but METL can not deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts.
• As the SORE owner, you should however be aware that METL may deny you warranty coverage if your SOREs or a part
have failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your SOREs to distribution center or service center authorized by METL as soon as
the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty
coverage, you should contact METL customer service:

or replace as necessary" will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under

warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the

the warranty must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of the
manufacturer issuing the warranty.

this article. The manufacturer issuing the warranty will not be liable under this Article to warrant failures of warranted
parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part.
