Champion Power Equipment Emissions Control Warranty Statement, engines less than 80cc
CALIFORNIA AND U.S. EPA EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA and Champion Power Equipment (CPE) are pleased to explain the
emissions control system’s warranty on your 2011 small off-road engine. In California, new equipment that use
small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.
Elsewhere in the United States, new non-road, spark ignited engines for model year 1997 and later must meet
similar standards set forth by the U.S. EPA. CPE warrants the emissions control system on your small off-road
generator engine for the period listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of
your equipment.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as: carburetors or fuel injection system, ignition system,
catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also,
included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, CPE will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road generator engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. CPE recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your small off-road generator engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road generator engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off-road generator engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road generator engine to a CPE service center as soon as the
problem exists. The warranty repairs will 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 a CPE Customer Service
representative at 1-877-338-0999.
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a)
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b)
General Emissions Warranty Coverage
. CPE must warrant to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent
owner that the engine or equipment is:
(1)
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air
Resources Board and the U.S. EPA; and
(2)
Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period
of two years.
(c)
The warranty on 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 required by subsection (d) must be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection
(b)(2). If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by
CPE according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must
be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(2)
Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions required by
subsection (d) 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 the
remaining warranty period.
(3)
Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written
instructions required by subsection (d) 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 CPE according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired
or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
