EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Mi-T-M are pleased to
explain the emission control system’s warranty on your 2022/2023 small off-road engine/equipment (SORE). 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. Mi-
T-M must warrant the exhaust and evaporative emissions control system (E & EECS) on your SOREs for the period listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment leading to the failure of the evaporative
emission control system.
Your E & EECS may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves,
canisters, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Where warrantable conditions exist, Mi-T-M will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This E & EECS is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emissions-related part on your small off-road engine/equipment is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Mi-T-M.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
-As the SORE owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Mi-T-M
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE , but Mi-T-M cannot deny warranty coverage solely
for the lack of receipts.
-As the SORE owner, you should be aware that Mi-T-M may deny you warranty coverage if your SORE or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
-You are responsible for presenting your SORE to distribution center or service center authorized by Mi-T-M Corporation, 50 Mi-T-
M Drive, Peosta, IA 52068 (herein Mi-T-M) as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall 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 Mi-T-M Customer Service Department at 1-800-

GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
