FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), together
with Powerhorse, are pleased to explain the Emission Control System
Warranty on your small off-road engine (SORE). New small off-road
engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-
smog standards the federal government. Powerhorse will warrant the
emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modification or
improper maintenance of your engine.
The emission control system includes all components whose failure
would increase the emissions of any regulated pollutant. These
components are listed in the emission-related parts list located in a
subsequent section of this emissions warranty statement. Powerhorse
will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement
parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such
warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is found to
be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will
be performed by a Powerhorse Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion
of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Manual(s).
For warranty purposes, Powerhorse recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your SORE. However, Powerhorse
cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware
that Powerhorse may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or
responsibility if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed
due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or modifications, or the
use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or
approved by Powerhorse.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to a Powerhorse
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 Powerhorse Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights
and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS
Warranty), which is provided to you by Powerhorse pursuant to federal
law. See also the Powerhorse “Product Warranty” (non-emission
warranties), which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet or located
in additional materials accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty
applies only to the emission control system of your new engine.
If there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and
the Powerhorse Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in
circumstances where the Powerhorse Warranty may provide a longer
warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Powerhorse Warranty
describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new
engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a Powerhorse Authorized
Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence
must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original
purchaser/owner. Powerhorse will not be responsible for any and/or
all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/
shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.
