CALIFORNIA & US EPA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the
California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) and Tecumseh Power
Company are pleased to explain the Federal and California
Emission Control Systems Warranty on your new small off-road
engine. In California, new 1995 and later small off-road engines
must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s
stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 1997 and later
model year engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the
time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road
engines. Tecumseh Power Company will warrant the emission
control system on your small off-road engine for the periods of
time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your small
off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor, air cleaner assembly, ignition system, exhaust
system, crankcase breather assembly and, the evaporative
control system. Also included may be the compression release
system and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Tecumseh Power
Company will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
for diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE
Emission control systems on 1995 and later model year California
small off-road engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter
noted. In other states, 1997 and later model year engines are also
warranted for two years. If, during such warranty period, any
emission-related part on your engine is defective in materials or
workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by Tecumseh
Power Company
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your
Operator’s Manual, but Tecumseh Power Company will not deny
warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to
provide written evidence of the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should, however, be
aware that Tecumseh Power Company may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off-road engine or a part thereof has failed
due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a
Tecumseh Authorized Service Outlet (any Tecumseh Registered
Service Dealer, Tecumseh Authorized Service Distributor or
Tecumseh Central Warehouse Distributor) as soon as a problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either an
Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer and/or Tecumseh Power
Company, c/o Service Manager, 900 North Street, Grafton, WI

under the Emission Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”)
which is provided to you by Tecumseh Power Company pursuant
to California law. Tecumseh Power Company also provides to
original purchasers of new Tecumseh Power Company engines
the Tecumseh Power Company Limited Warranties for New

Power Company Warranty”) are located on the back cover of the
Operator’s Manual, enclosed with all new Tecumseh Power
Company engines. The ECS Warranty applies only to the
emission control system of your new engine. To the extent that
there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the

apply except in any circumstances in which the Tecumseh Power
Company Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both
the ECS Warranty and the Tecumseh Power Company Warranty
describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new
engine.
Warranty service can only be performed by a Tecumseh Power
Company Authorized Servicing Dealer. At the time of requesting
warranty service, evidence must be presented of the date of sale
to the original purchaser. The purchaser shall pay any charges for
making service calls and/or for transporting the products to and
from the place where the inspection and/or warranty work is
performed. The purchaser shall be responsible for any damage or
loss incurred in connection with the transportation of any engine
or any part(s) thereof submitted for inspection and/or warranty
