The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the California
Air Resources Board (“CARB”) and Tecumseh Products Co. are
pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission Control
Systems Warranty on your new small off-road engine.  In
California, new 1995 and later small off-road engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-
smog standards.  In other states, new 1997 and later model year
engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of
sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines.
Tecumseh Products Co. will 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, unapproved
modification, or improper maintenance of your small off-road
engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system.  Also included
may be the compression release system and other emission-
related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, Tecumseh Products Co.
will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you for
diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE

Emission control systems on 1995 and later model year
California small off-road engines are warranted for two years as
hereinafter noted.  In other states, 1997 and later model year
engines are also warranted for two years.  If, during such warranty
period, any emission-related part on your engine is defective in
materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced
by Tecumseh Products Co.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s
Manual, but Tecumseh Products Co. will not deny warranty solely
due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to provide written
evidence of the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should, however, be
aware that Tecumseh Products Co. may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off-road engine or a part thereof has failed
due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to
a Tecumseh Authorized Service Outlet (any Tecumseh
Registered Service Dealer, Tecumseh Authorized Service
Distributor or Tecumseh Central Warehouse Distributor) as soon
as a problem exists.  The warranty repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either a
Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer or by contacting
Tecumseh Products Co., c/o Service Manager, Engine and
Transmission Group Service Division, 900 North Street, Grafton,
WI 53024-1499.  Telephone 1-262-377-2700 [or in USA/Canada
call 1-800-558-5402] or see your local telephone yellow pages
under “Engines, Gasoline” for the name, address and telephone
number of a Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer near you.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations
under the Emission Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”)
which is provided to you by Tecumseh Products Co. pursuant to
California law.  Tecumseh Products Co. also provides to original
purchasers of new Tecumseh Products Co. engines.  The
Tecumseh Products Co. Limited Warranties for New Tecumseh
Engine and Electronic Ignition Modules (“Tecumseh Products
Co. Warranty”) which is enclosed with all new Tecumseh
Products Co. engines on a separate sheet.  The ECS Warranty
applies only to the emission control system of your new engine.
To the extent that there is any conflict in terms between the ECS
Warranty and the Tecumseh Products Co. Warranty, the ECS
Warranty shall apply except in any circumstances in which the
Tecumseh Products Co. Warranty may provide a longer warranty
period.  Both the ECS Warranty and the Tecumseh Products Co.
Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect
to your new engine.

Warranty service can only be performed by a Tecumseh Products
Co. Authorized Servicing Dealer.  At the time of requesting
warranty service, evidence must be presented of the date of
sale to the original purchaser. The purchaser shall pay any
charges for making service calls and/or for transporting the
products to and from the place where the inspection and/or
warranty work is performed.  The purchaser shall be responsible
for any damage or loss incurred in connection with the
transportation of any engine or any part(s) thereof submitted for
inspection and/or warranty work.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact Tecumseh Products Co. at
1-262-377-2700 or in USA/Canada call 1-800-558-5402.
