WARRANTY

THE FOLLOWING CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) STATEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO MODEL
NUMBERS REQUIRED TO MEET THE CARB REQUIREMENTS.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and OWT Industries, Inc., are pleased to explain the Emissions Control
System Warranty on your 2012 model year non-road or small off-road engine. In
California, new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built,
and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new
2012 model year non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped at the time
of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The non-road
engine must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause it to
fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two years of engine use from the
date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. OWT Industries, Inc., must warrant the emis-
sion control system on your non-road or small off-road engine for the period of time
listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance
of your non-road or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection
system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps,
connectors, and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts
and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, OWT Industries, Inc., will repair your non-road or
small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor performed
at an authorized service center for GREEN MACHINE

™

brand outdoor products.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This product’s emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any
emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by OWT Industries, Inc., free of charge.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the perfor-
mance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. OWT Industries,
Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your non-road or
small off-road engine, but OWT Industries, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,
that OWT Industries, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if your non-road or small
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,
or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine to an
authorized service dealer 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 a OWT Industries, Inc., Customer Representative at 1-800-
332-1631.

DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS:

(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. OWT Industries, Inc., warrants to the
ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your non-road or small off-
road engine is designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board or the United
States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from defects in materials
and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regula-
tions for a period of two years from the date the non-road or small off-road engine is
purchased by the initial purchaser. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent
in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs,
and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of OWT Industries, Inc.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: Any war-
ranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required in the Maintenance
Schedule is warranted for two years. If any such part (including any part that is
scheduled only for regular inspection) fails during the period of warranty coverage,
it will be repaired or replaced at any GREEN MACHINE

™

Authorized Service Center

at no charge. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair or replace
as necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any warranted
part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Maintenance
Schedule is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement

point for that part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted
for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point, and
will be repaired or replaced at any GREEN MACHINE

™

Authorized Service Center

for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
OWT Industries, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized GREEN MA-
CHINE

™

Authorized Service Center, including any distribution center that may be

franchised to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic work done at a GREEN
MACHINE

™

Authorized Service Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such

work determines that a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or
equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs
on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the
part is still under warranty. OWT Industries, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine
components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air Resource
Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts
will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. OWT Industries, Inc., will not be
liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
The Emission Parts List specifically defines the emission-related warranted parts.
OWT Industries, Inc., will provide any documents that describe its warranty proce-
dures or policies within five days upon request by the California Air Resources Board.
