Emission Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”) for 1995

and later model year California small off-road engines (for other

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 Power Company 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 EMISSION-

RELATED PARTS ON YOUR ENGINE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Any warranted, emissions-related parts which are not

scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the

Operator’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 Power Company 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 Operator’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 Operator’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 Power

Company 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 Power Company 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 Power

Company shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-

related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for

such emission-related parts.

8.  Any Tecumseh Power Company 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 Power Company ECS

Warranty obligations.

9.  Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to

modify or repair a Tecumseh Power Company engine.

Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient

grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.

Tecumseh Power Company shall not be liable hereunder

for failures of any warranted parts of a Tecumseh Power

Company engine caused by the use of such an

unapproved add-on or modified part.
