LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT
ATTENTION TWO-STROKE ENGINE
POWERED PRODUCT OWNERS
RedMax Hi-Performance 2- -Stroke engines
produce higher HP (horse power) outputs as
compared to standard Home Owner Duty or
Light Commercial Duty production engines
offered by most manufacturers. To help
insure trouble free performance of the unit,
it is required to use oil which meets the
ISO- -L- -EGD Standard per ISO/CD 13738
and one that is registered under JASO
M345/FD Standards. RedMax MaxLifet
Synthetic Blend 2-Stroke Oil is a premium
2-stroke oil specifically formulated to meet
ISO- -L- -EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO
M345/FD Standards.
The use of un-registered oils designed for
other applications, such as for outboard mo-
tors or lawnmowers, or low RPM, low HP
output engines, can result in severe engine
damage, and void your 2- -stroke engine
warranty. This Hi-Performance Air Cooled
2- -Stroke engine requires the use of
MINIMUM 89 Octane (mid-grade or pre-
mium) clean gasoline. If octane rating of
the mid-grade gasoline is lower than 89
octane, use premium unleaded gasoline.
Warning: Gasoline with octane rating lower
than 89 will greatly increase engines oper-
ating temperature. Low octane gasoline will
cause detonation (knock) resulting in piston
seizures and major internal engine compo-
nent damage. Engine failures caused by
operating engines on gasoline with octane
rating lower than 89 are not covered by the
RedMax 2- -Stroke Engine Warranty.
(Emission related parts only are covered for
two years, regardless of 2- -stroke oil used,
per the statement listed in the EPA or
California Emission Defect Warranty
Explanation.)
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT IN-
CLUDE, OR COVER DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT OR ENGINE CAUSED BY:
1. Lack of lubrication or engine failure, due
to the use of 2- -stroke oils that do not
meet the ISO- -L- -EGD (ISO/CD 13738)
and are not registered to meet JASO
M345/FD Standards. Engine problems
due to inadequate lubrication caused by
failure to use an ISO- -L- -EGD compliant
and JASO M345/FD registered oil,
WILL VOID the RedMax 2- -Stroke
Engine Warranty. RedMax MaxLifet
synthetic blend 2- - stroke Oil meets
the ISO- -L- -EGD and is registered to
JASO Standard M345/FD.
2. Damage caused by use of gasohol,
containing methanol (wood alcohol), or
gasoline containing LESS than 89
OCTANE. Only use gasolines which
contain 89 octane or Higher.
115391326 Rev. 3 1/31/11
Gasohol which contains a maximum
10% ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15%
MTBE (methyl/tertiary/butyl/ether) is
also approved. The prescribed mixing
ratio of gasoline to oil is 50:1 and is listed
on the RedMax oil label and covered in
your operator's manual.
3. Engine damage caused by use of
ether or any starting fluids. Damage
caused by pressure or steam clean-
ing the unit.
4. Overheating and detonation damage
caused by use of spark plugs other than
those meeting emissions performance
requirements listed in the operator's
manual.
5. Damage caused by tampering with
engine speed governor or emission
components, or running engines above
specified and recommended engine
speeds as listed in your operator's
manual.
6. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COV-
ER DAMAGE TO THE UNIT OR EN-
GINE CAUSED BY: Operation of the
unit with improperly installed/
removed cutting shields, guards or
safety devices.
7. Damage caused by removed/damaged
air filter, dirt, abrasives, salt water, mois-
ture corrosion, rust, varnish, stale fuel,
or any adverse reaction due to incorrect
storage procedures.
8. Defects, malfunctions or failures resulting
from abuse, misuse, neglect, modifica-
tions, alterations, normal wear, improper
servicing, use of unauthorized attach-
ments, including failure to provide or per-
form required maintenance services as
prescribed in the operator's manual. Pre-

delivery service or repair service by
anyone other than an authorized RedMax
servicing dealer during the warranty
period.
10. Certain parts and other items are not
warranted, including but not limited to:
spark plugs, filters, lubricants, starter
cords, sprockets, and debris bags.
Overheating or carbon scoring failures
due to restricted/clogged exhaust port,
blocked spark arrester screen, or com-
bustion chamber.
11. Set-up and pre-delivery service, engine
tune- -ups, including natural discoloration
due to ultraviolet light.
