FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), together
with Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam), are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your small off-road engine (SORE). New
small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet
stringent anti-smog standards the federal government. Ardisam will
warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of
time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modifi-
cation or improper maintenance of your engine.
The emission control system includes all components whose failure
would increase the emissions of any regulated pollutant. These
components are listed in the emission-related parts list located in a
subsequent section of this emissions warranty statement. Ardisam
will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement
parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such
warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is found to
be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will
be performed by a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the comple-
tion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied
Manual(s). For warranty purposes, Ardisam recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE. However,
Ardisam cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts
or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled mainte-
nance.
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that
Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility
if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or modifications, or the use of coun-
terfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by
Ardisam.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam Autho-
rized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The war-
ranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling
dealer or a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the
Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our free

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This warranty statement explains your rights and
obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS War-
ranty), which is provided to you by Ardisam pursuant to federal law.
See also the Ardisam “Product Warranty” (non-emission warranties),
which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet or located in addi-
tional materials accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies
only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is
any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam
Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where
the Ardisam Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the
ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty describe important rights
and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam Authorized
Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evi-
dence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original
purchaser/owner. Ardisam will not be responsible for any and/or all
damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/
shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.
