Emission Control System Warranty - Tecumseh OHH45 Operator's Manual

Emission Control System Warranty ("ECS Warranty") for 1995 and
later model year California small off-road engines (for other states,
1997 and later model year engines):
A. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later
model year California small off-road engines (for other states,
1997 and later model year engines). The ECS Warranty Period
shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered
to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24
consecutive months thereafter.
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 adopted 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
material 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
Owner's Manual 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 Owner's Manual
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 Owner's
Manual, 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
to the owner at a Tecumseh Authorized Service Outlet.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

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 and 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 and 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.
