WARRANTy
yOUR WARRANTy RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and OWT Industries, Inc.,
are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system’s
warranty on your small off-road equipment. New equipment that
uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped
to meet the stringent evaporative standards. OWT Industries, Inc.,
must warrant the evaporative emission control system on your
small off-road equipment for the period listed below, provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of
your equipment.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such
as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel line, 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 defec-
tive, the part will be repaired or replaced by OWT Industries, Inc.
OWNER’S WARRANTy RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road equipment owner, you are responsible
for performance of the required maintenance listed in your
operator’s manual. OWT Industries, Inc., recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road
equipment, but OWT Industries, Inc., cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts.
As the small off-road equipment owner, you should, however,
be aware that OWT Industries, Inc., may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off-road equipment or a part has failed
due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road equip-
ment to a OWT Industries, Inc., distribution center or service
center 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 a question regarding your warranty coverage, you
should contact OWT Industries, Inc., at 1-800-726-5760 or
www.blackmaxtools.com.
DEFECTS WARRANTy REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is de-
livered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The equip-
ment must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any
subsequent owner that the evaporative emission control system
when installed was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause
the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be
interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the written instructions must be
warranted for the warranty period defined in subsection (b)
(2). If any such part fails during the period of warranty cov-
erage, it must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer
issuing the warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced
under the warranty must be warranted for a time not less
than the remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion in the written instructions must be warranted for the
warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). A statement in
such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as
necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty coverage.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be
warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty
period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions must 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 must be repaired or
replaced by the manufacturer issuing the warranty. Any such
part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted
for a time not less than the remainder of the period prior to
the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the
warranty provisions of this article must be performed at no
charge to the owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) above,
warranty services or repairs must be provided at distribution
centers that are franchised to service the subject equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that
leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact
defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system’s war-
ranty period set out in subsection (b)(2), the manufacturer
issuing the warranty must maintain a supply of warranted
parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in
the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and
must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use
will not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer
issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds
for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with
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.
