Emission System Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and Shindaiwa Inc. are pleased to explain the
exhaust and evaporative emission control system warranty on
your new small off-road (non-road) engine.
In California, new small off-road engines must be designed,
built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog stan-
dards. In other states, new 1997 and later non-road engines must
meet the Federal EPA’s stringent anti-smog standards.
Shindaiwa Inc. 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 mainte-
nance of your small off-road engine.
Your engine exhaust and evaporative emission control system
includes parts such as the carburetor, fuel tank, the ignition sys-
tem and, if equipped, the catalytic converter. These components
are specifically listed below.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Shindaiwa Inc. will
repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
