The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), together with CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD.
are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new
small off-road engine. New small off-road engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards for the state of California and
the federal government. CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. will warrant
the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification or improper
maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition,
intake and exhaust systems. CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. will repair
your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should
a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
COVERAGE:
Emission control systems on 1997 and later model year engines are warranted
for two years as hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any emission-
related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials
or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a CHONGQING
RATO POWER CO., LTD. Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the comple-
tion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner’s Manual.
For warranty purposes, CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. recommends that
you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine. However, CHONGQ-
ING RATO POWER CO., LTD. cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware
that CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. may deny any and/or all warranty
coverage or responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed
due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, or
the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved
by CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to a CHONGQING RATO POWER
CO., LTD. Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs.
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 your selling dealer or a
CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To

federal law. See also the “Limited Warranties for CHONGQING RATO POWER
CO., LTD.,” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to

terms between the ECS Warranty and the CHONGQING RATO POWER CO.,
LTD. Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where
the CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. Warranty may provide a longer
warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the CHONGQING RATO POWER
CO., LTD. Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to
your new engine.

vice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original

being transported/shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.

II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1997 and later model
engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year engines.
The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equip-
ment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and
shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: CHONGQING RATO POWER CO.,
LTD. warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is:
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations
adopted by the EPA and CARB pursuant to their respective authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the
ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail
to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine
manufacturer’s application for certification.
The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as
follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the ECS
Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall
be repaired or replaced by CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. according
to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular in-
spection as specified in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the ECS
Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair
or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such
part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall 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 shall be repaired or
replaced by CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. according to Subsection
(4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period
prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this
ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CHONGQING
RATO POWER CO., LTD. Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD.
Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible
for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. shall be liable for damages to other
original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused
by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS
Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD.
shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet
the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. authorized and approved emission-
related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty
maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/
owner. Such use shall not reduce CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD.’s
ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not
be used to modify or repair a CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. engine.
Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallow-
ing an ECS Warranty claim. CHONGQING RATO POWER CO., LTD. shall not
be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CHONGQING
RATO POWER CO., LTD. engine caused by the use of such an unapproved,
add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.
