SySTEMS NON-ROAD AND SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINES
yOUR WARRANTy RIGHTS AND ObLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and OWT Industries, Inc., are pleased to explain the Emissions Control
System Warranty on your 2009 model year non-road or small off-road engine. 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. In other states, new
2000 and later model year non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped
at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The
non-road engine must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which
cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two years of engine
use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. OWT Industries, Inc., must war-
rant the emission control system on your non-road or small off-road engine for the
period of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your non-road or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection
system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps,
connectors, and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts
and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, OWT Industries, Inc., will repair your non-road or
small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor performed
at an authorized service center for Black Max brand outdoor products.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTy COVERAGE:
This product's emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-
related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by OWT
Industries, Inc., free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTy RESPONSIbILITIES
(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator's manual. OWT
Industries, Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your non-road or small off-road engine, but OWT Industries, Inc., cannot deny
warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance. Any replacement part or service that is equiva-
lent in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or
repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of OWT Industries, Inc.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,
that OWT Industries, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if your non-road or small
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,
or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine to an
authorized service dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact a OWT Industries, Inc., Customer Representative at 1-800-726-
5760.
DEFECT WARRANTy COVERAGE REqUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. OWT Industries, Inc., warrants to the
ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your non-road or small off-
road engine is designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board or the United
States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from defects in materials
and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regula-
tions for a period of two years from the date the non-road or small off-road engine
is purchased by the initial purchaser.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: Any
warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required in the Emissions
Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List set forth below is warranted for two
years. If any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced at
any Black Max Authorized Service Center at no charge. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period. A
statement to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" would not reduce the
period of warranty coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the Emissions Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts
List is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for that part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point, and will be
repaired or replaced at any Black Max Authorized Service Center for no charge until
that replacement point is reached.

WARRANTy
OWT Industries, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized Black Max
Authorized Service Center, including any distribution center that may be franchised
to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic work done at a Black Max Authorized
Service Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a
warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equivalent replacement
part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs on emission-related parts,
and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty.
OWT Industries, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine components caused by
the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air Resource
Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts
will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. OWT Industries, Inc., will not be
liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
The California Air Resources Board's Emission Warranty Parts List specifically
defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA's regulations do not include a
parts list, but the EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the
parts listed below.) OWT Industries, Inc., will provide any documents that describe
its warranty procedures or policies within five days upon request by the California
Air Resources Board.
