WARRANTY STATEMENT YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.) and The Equipment Manufacturer are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your EPA Phase 2 / C.A.R.B. Tier III model year 2005 and later small off road engine (SOREs). New small off
road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent EPA and C.A.R.B. anti-smog standards. Echo, Incorporated must warrant the
emission control system 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 emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injected system, and the ignition system and catalytic converter. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, the Manufacturer will repair your small off road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 1995 and later small off road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by the Manufacturer.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- As the small off road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operator's Manual.
The Manufacturer recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off road engine, but the Manufacturer
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
- As the small off road engine owner, you should however be aware that the Manufacturer may deny you warranty coverage if your small off
road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off road engine to the Manufacturer's authorized service center as soon as a 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 rights and responsibilities, you should contact your Product Manufacturer.
EPA PHASE 2 / CALIFORNIA TIER III EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY EXPLANATION
This is additional detailed information about the EPA PHASE 2/ CALIFORNIA TIER III EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY for your small off road engine.
WHAT DOES THIS WARRANTY COVER?
The Manufacturer warrants that your unit was designed, built and equipped to conform with applicable California emissions standards and that your
unit is free from defects in material and workmanship that would cause it to fail to conform with applicable requirements within five (5) years. The
warranty period begins on the date the product is delivered to a retail purchaser. This is your emission control system, DEFECTS WARRANTY.
HOW WILL A COVERED PART BE CORRECTED?
If there is a defect in a part covered by this warranty, a Manufacturer's Authorized Service Dealer will correct the defect.
You will not have to pay anything to have the part adjusted, repaired or replaced. This includes any labor and diagnosis for warranted repairs
performed by the dealer. In addition, engine parts not expressly covered under this warranty but whose failure is a result of a failure of a covered part
will be warranted.
Emissions System repairs covered under this warranty should be completed in a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days.
If the diagnosis reveals no defect, the emission defect warranty does not apply.
