yOUR WARRANTy RiGHTS ANd OBLiGATiONS
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and
OWT Industries, Inc., are pleased to explain the evaporative emission
control system's warranty on your 2013/2014 small off-road equipment.
In California, new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog
standards. OWT Industries, Inc., must warrant the evaporative emis-
sion control system on your small off-road equipment for the period
listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your equipment.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as:
carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel line, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters,
vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated components.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTy COvERAGE:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for three years.
If any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by OWT Industries, Inc.
OWNER'S WARRANTy RESPONSiBiLiTiES:
As the small off-road equipment owner, you are responsible for
performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's
manual. OWT Industries, Inc., recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road equipment,
but OWT Industries, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts.
As the small off-road equipment owner, you should, however, be
aware that OWT Industries, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage
if your small off-road equipment or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road equipment to
a OWT Industries, Inc., distribution center or service center as soon
as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should
contact OWT Industries, Inc., at 1-877-617-3501.
dEFECTS WARRANTy REQUiREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The equipment
must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent
owner that the evaporative emission control system when installed
was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all ap-
plicable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the
failure of a warranted part for a period of three years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be inter-
preted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions must be war-
ranted for the warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). If
any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it
must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer issuing the
warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty
must be warranted for a time not less than the remaining war-
ranty period.
WARRANTy
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection
in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty
period defined in subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written
instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary"
will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a
time not less than the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions must 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 must be repaired or replaced by the
manufacturer issuing the warranty. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less
than the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty
provisions of this article must be performed at no charge to the
owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) above, war-
ranty services or repairs must be provided at distribution centers
that are franchised to service the subject equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads
to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective,
provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty
station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system's warranty
period set out in subsection (b)(2), the manufacturer issuing the
warranty must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient
to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in
the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and
must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will
not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer issuing
the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this
article. The manufacturer issuing the warranty will not be liable
under this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused
by the use of an add-on or modified part.
(10) The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall provide any docu-
ments that describe the warranty procedures or policies within
five working days of request by the Air Resources Board.
