EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resource Board and Betco Corporation is pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your
2013 small off-road engine (SORE). In California and the other 49 States, new SORE must be designed, built and equipped
to meet stringent anti-smog standards. Betco Corporation must warrant the emission control system on your SORE for the
period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your SORE.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Betco Corporation will repair your SORE 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 defec-
tive, the part will be repaired or replaced by Betco Corporation.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your owner's manual. Betco Corporation recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance of your SORE engine,
but Betco Corporation cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance. As the SORE owner you should however be aware that Betco Corporation may deny your warranty if
your SORE or its part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modification.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to a Betco Corporation distribution center as soon as the problem exists. The
warranty repairs should be completed within a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions
regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Betco Corporation at 1-888-GO-BETCO (1-888-462-
3826) or by email at [email protected].

application for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or
first placed into service. The warranty period is two years. Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the

ranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty

ed for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled
