In California, new small off-road engines must be designed,

engines must meet the Federal EPA’s stringent anti-smog
standards.

your small off-road engine for the periods of time listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper main-
tenance of your small off-road engine.

nents are specifically listed below.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Shindaiwa Inc. will
repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including
