YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Applies only to Model No. S-HLT-3017-SBEZ:

The California Air Resources Board and 

METL

 are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system’s warranty 

on your 2009 model year small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new SOREs must be designed, built and equipped 

to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. 

METL

 must warrant the evaporative emission control system on your 

SOREs for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your 

SOREs.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, 

canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated components.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:

This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your 

equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by 

METL

.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:

• As the SORE owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. 

METL

 recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SOREs, but 

METL

 can not deny warranty 

solely for the lack of receipts.

• As the SORE owner, you should however be aware that 

METL

 may deny you warranty coverage if your SOREs or a part 

have failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

• You are responsible for presenting your SOREs to distribution center or service center authorized by 

METL

 as soon as 

the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. 

If you have any questions regarding your warranty 
coverage, you should contact METL customer service:
