engine) is designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of 

initial sale, to all applicable regulations of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA), and that the engine is free of defects in

MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY COVERAGE

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the 

required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Shindaiwa Corpora-

tion recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on 

your engine, but Shindaiwa Corporation cannot deny a warranty claim 

solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the perfor-

mance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the engine owner, you should however be aware that Shindaiwa 

Corporation may deny your warranty coverage if your engine or a part 

has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved 

modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your engine to the nearest dealer 

authorized by Shindaiwa Corporation when a problem exists.

If your Shindaiwa Dealer is unable to answer questions regarding your 

warranty rights and responsibilities, you should then contact your 

Shindaiwa Distributor.

area, please call Shindaiwa Inc. at (503) 692-3070 between the hours of 

8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time.

LIMITATIONS

The Federal Emission Design and Defect Warranty shall not cover any of 

the following:

ment (unless they were made by the dealer or service center 

authorized by Shindaiwa Corporation during a warranty repair), 

alteration, accident, failure to use the recommended fuel and oil, 

or not performing required maintenance services,

You are responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. 

You should keep all receipts and maintenance records covering the 

performance of regular maintenance in the event questions arise. These 

receipts and maintenance records should be transferred to each subse-

quent owner of the engine. Shindaiwa Corporation reserves the right to 

deny warranty coverage if the owner has not properly maintained the

solely because of the lack of repair, maintenance or failure to keep main-

tenance records.
