DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS
A.
The warranty period begins on the date the small off-road engine/
equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
B.
General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Rato warrants to the ultimate
purchaser and each subsequent owner that the engine or equipment
is: Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; and Free from defects in
materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for
a period of two years.
C. The warranty on emission-related parts will be interpreted as follows:
1.
Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted 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 Rato
according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced
under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
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" shall advise owners of the warranty
coverage for emissions related parts. Replacement within the warranty
period is covered by the warranty and will not reduce the period of
warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty
must be warranted for 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 Rato according to Subsection (4) below. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
the part.
