yOUR WARRANty RIGHtS AND OBLIGAtIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to-
gether with Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam), are pleased to explain the
Emission Control System Warranty on your 2013 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. Ardisam 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 pollut-
ant. These components are listed in the emission-related parts
list located in a subsequent section of this emissions warranty
statement. Ardisam 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, dur-
ing 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 Ardisam Autho-
rized 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, Ardisam recom-
mends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on
your SORE. However, Ardisam 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 Ardisam 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 modifi-
cations, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not
made, supplied or approved by Ardisam.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam
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 Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facil-
ity. To locate the Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This warranty statement explains your
rights and obligations under the Emission Control System
Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Ardis-
am pursuant to federal law. See also the Ardisam “Product
Warranty” (non-emission warranties), which is enclosed here-
with 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 Ardisam Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall ap-
ply except in circumstances where the Ardisam Warran-
ty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS
Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty describe important
rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam
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
