STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), together with Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. are
pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new small off-
road engine. New small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to
meet stringent anti-smog standards for the state of California and the federal
government. Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. will warrant the emission control
system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been
no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification or improper maintenance of your
engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition,
intake and exhaust systems. Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. will repair your
engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a
warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
COVERAGE:
Emission control systems on 1997 and later model year engines are warranted
for two years as hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any
emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective
in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a
Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER'S/OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the
completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied
Owner's Manual. For warranty purposes, Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine.
However, Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. cannot deny warranty solely
because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of
all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware
that Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. may deny any and/or all warranty coverage
or responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, or the use of
counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts not made, supplied or approved by
Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to a Feldmann Eng. & Mfg.
Co., Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs.
The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not
to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a
Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To

is provided to you by Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. pursuant to California and
federal law. See also the "Limited Warranties for Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co.,
Inc." which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by

control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between the
ECS Warranty and the Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. Warranty, the ECS
Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Feldmann Eng. & Mfg.
Co., Inc. Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty
and the Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. Warranty describe important rights and
obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.
Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence
must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.
The purchaser/owner shall be responsible for any expenses or other charges
incurred for service calls and/or transportation of the product to/from the inspection
or repair facilities. The purchaser/owner shall also be responsible for any and/or all
damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/shipped for
inspection or warranty repairs.

II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1997 and later model
engines:
(a)
Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year
engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or
equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner
and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b)
General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.
warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines
is...
(1)
Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the EPA and CARB pursuant to their respective
authority, and
(2)
Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time
during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related
part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the
engine manufacturer's application for certification.
The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as
follows:
(1)
Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the Owner's 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 Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.
according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2)
Any warranted emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection as specified in the Owner's 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.
(3)
Any warranted emissions-related part that 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 Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. according to Subsection (4)
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.
(4)
Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under
this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a
Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5)
When the engine is inspected by a Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.
Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible
for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6)
Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. shall be liable for damages to other
original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by
a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS
Warranty.
(7)
Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. shall
maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the
expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8)
Any Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. authorized and approved emission-
related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty
maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner.
Such use shall not reduce Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc.'s ECS Warranty
obligations.
(9)
Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts
may not be used to modify or repair a Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. engine.
Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for
disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Feldmann Eng. & Mfg. Co., Inc. shall not
be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Feldmann Eng.
& Mfg. Co., Inc. engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on,
modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" part.
