EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY 
 
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System Warranty Coverage.  
 
1. APPLICABILITY: 

This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (for 

other states, 1997 and later model year engines).  The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new 
engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months 
thereafter. 
 

2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE 

CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent 
purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is: 
 

a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air 

Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, 
and 
 

b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical 

in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period 
of two years. 
 

3.  THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS: 

 

a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners 

Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period.  If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it 
shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below.  Any such part repaired or replaced under 
the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period. 
 

b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the 

Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period.  A statement in such written instructions to the 
effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period.  Any such part repaired or 
replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period. 
 

c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in 

the Owner’s Manual shall 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 shall be repaired or replaced by CPE 
according to Subsection “d” below.  Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, 
shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for 
such emissions-related part. 
 

d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be 

performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. 
 

e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered 

by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized 
Service Outlet. 
 

f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the 

following circumstances: 
 

 

i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. 

Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND 
 

 

ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile 

limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, 
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. 
 

g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications 

proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty. 
 

h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts 

sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts. 
 

i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of 

any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner.  Such use shall not 
reduce CPE’s warranty obligation. 
 

j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine.  Such use voids 

this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.  CPE shall not be liable 
hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or 
modified part.
