NON-ROAD AND SMALL OFF-ROAD EQUIPMENT
Your new POWERSTROKE brand gasoline-powered product complies
with all applicable U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and State of California
emissions regulations.
The evaporative emissions portion of this coverage, as described below,
is provided by OWT Industries, Inc. Separate emissions warranty cover-
age for other emissions-related components is provided by the engine
manufacturer, as stated in a separate "Emission Control System Warranty"
included with this product. Of course, this product also includes a war-
ranty that is not limited to emissions-related components, as described
elsewhere in this operator's manual.
yOUR WARRANTy RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and OWT Industries, Inc., are pleased
to explain the evaporative emission control system's warranty on your
2012 model year 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 emission 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:
fuel tanks, fuel hoses, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses,
clamps, connectors, and other associated components. For engines less
than or equal to 80cc, only the fuel tank is subject to the evaporative
emission control warranty requirements of this section.
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 perfor-
mance 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 applicable
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 interpreted
as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as re-
quired maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted
WARRANTy
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 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" 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, warranty
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 dis-
allowing 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.
