WARRANTy
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and Chongqing Rato Power Co., Ltd (RATO), are
pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your small off-
road engine. In the United States and California, new small off-road engines
must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. RATO must warrant the emission control system on your small
off-road engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been
no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included
may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, RATO will repair your small off-road
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTy COVERAGE:
Emissions Control System is warranted for two years on small off-road
engine. If any emission related part on your engine is defective, the part will
be repaired or replaced by RATO. RATO provides warranty coverage for a
period of two years.
OWNER’S WARRANTy RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance
of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. RATO recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine,
but RATO cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure
to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that
RATO may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a RATO
distribution center 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 RATO USA, LLC at 1-855-206-5286 or E-mail: lwang@

DEFECTS WARRANTy REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage.
RATO warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent owner that
the engine or equipment is:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA);
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure
of a warranted part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions required by subsection (d) must
be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). If
any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be
repaired or replaced by RATO according to Subsection (4) below. Any
such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted
for the remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
written instructions required by subsection (d) must be warranted for
the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). A statement in such
written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” will
not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired
or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions required by subsection (d)
must 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 must be repaired or replaced by RATO
according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior
to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty must
be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above, warranty
services or repairs must be provided at all RATO distribution centers
that are franchised to service the subject engines.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the
determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that
such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) RATO is liable for damages to other engine components proximately
caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
(8) Throughout the emissions warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2),
RATO must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the
expected demand for such parts.
(9) Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty
maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the
owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of RATO.
(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources
Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or
modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. RATO
will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the
use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
(11) RATO issuing the warranty shall provide any documents that describe
that manufacturer’s warranty procedures or policies within five working
days of request by the Air Resources Board.
