EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage
.
1. APPLICABILITY:
This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year small off-road engines (SORE). 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.
2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
CPE 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 (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines
at or below 19 kilowatts.
2b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical
in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification
for a period of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners 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 CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced
under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owners 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.
3c. 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
CPE according to Subsection “d” 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.
3d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be
performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3e. 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 CPE Authorized
Service Outlet.
3f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the following
circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. Census
2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND
ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile
limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
3g. CPE 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.
3h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
