California Emission Control Defects Warranty
Statement
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, LTD (MHI) are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your 1995 utility or lawn and
garden equipment engine (ULGE). In California, new utility or
lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. MHI
must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the
periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance of your utility or lawn and
garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as the
carburetor, air cleaner, ignition system, muffler and catalytic
converter. Also included may be connectors and other emission
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, MHI will repair your
utility or lawn and garden equipment engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Defects Warranty Coverage
The utility or lawn and garden equipment engines are warranted
relative to emission control parts defective for a period of two
years, subject to provisions set forth below. If any covered part
on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by MHI.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the utility or lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you
are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance
listed in this owner's manual. MHI recommends that you retain
all your receipts covering maintenance on your utility or lawn
and garden equipment engine, but MHI cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the utility or lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you
should however be aware that MHI may deny you warranty
coverage if your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine or a
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your utility or lawn and garden
equipment engine to an authorized service dealer of lawn and
garden equipment manufacture to whom MHI would sell engines as
soon as a problem exists. The undisputed warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should contact a Briggs and Stratton
Power Products Service Representative at 1-800-743-4115.
The emission warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged
on normal engine performance.
The warranty is not related to an in-use emission test.
