CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS/EPA CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS  

The California Air Resources Board, the Environmental Protection Agency and LEHR, Inc. are pleased to 
explain the emissions control system’s warranty on your 2012 and later marine engine.  In California and 
the 49 states, new equipment that use marine engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the 
State’s stringent anti-smog standards.  LEHR, Inc. must warrant the emissions control system on your 
small off-road engine for the period listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your engine.  

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, LEHR will repair your marine engine at no cost to you including 
diagnosis, parts and labor.  

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:  
This emissions control system is warranted for ten years.  If any emissions-related part on your equipment 
is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by LEHR.  

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:  
• As the marine engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in 
  your owner’s manual.  LEHR recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your 
  marine engine, but LEHR cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure 
  the performance of all scheduled maintenance. 
• As the marine engine owner, you should however be aware that LEHR may deny you warranty coverage if 
  your marine engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved 
  modifications. 
• You are responsible for presenting your marine engine to a LEHR 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 LEHR at 1-866-941-LEHR.
