EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”) for 1995
and later model year California small off-road engines (for other
states, 1997 and later model year engines):
A.
APPLICABILITY
: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and
later model year California small off-road engines (for other
states, 1997 and later model year engines). The ECS
Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or
equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser,
and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
B.
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
:
Tecumseh Products Co. warrants to the original, end-use
purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each
subsequent purchaser that each of its small off-road
engines is:
1. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources
Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part
5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship which,
at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, will cause
a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical
in all material respects to the part as described in the
engine manufacturer’s application for certification.
C. The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts
on your engine, as follows:
1. Any warranted, emissions-related parts which are not
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the ECS
Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS
Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by
Tecumseh Products Co. according to Subsection 4
below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of
the ECS Warranty Period.
2. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is
scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the ECS
Warranty Period. A statement in such written
instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as
necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the
ECS Warranty Period.
3. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owner’s Manual, shall be warranted for the period of
time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled
replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by
Tecumseh Products Co. according to Subsection 4
below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or
replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted
for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to
the first scheduled replacement point for such
emissions-related part.
4. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-
related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed
at no charge to the owner at a Tecumseh Authorized
Service Outlet.
5. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor
which leads to the determination that a part covered by
the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such
diagnostic work is performed at a Tecumseh Authorized
Service Outlet.
6. Tecumseh Products Co. shall be liable for damages to
other original engine components or approved
modifications proximately caused by a failure under
warranty of an emission-related part covered by the
ECS Warranty.
7. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Tecumseh
Products Co. shall maintain a supply of warranted
emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected
demand for such emission-related parts.
8. Any Tecumseh Products Co. authorized and approved
emission-related replacement part may be used in the
performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or
repair and will be provided without charge to the owner.
Such use shall not reduce Tecumseh Products Co. ECS
Warranty obligations.
9. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used
to modify or repair a Tecumseh Products Co. engine.
Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be
sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty
claim. Tecumseh Products Co. shall not be liable
hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a
Tecumseh Products Co. engine caused by the use of
such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
