The emission Regulations may be different for your country. The emissions Control Warranty Statement is only applicable
to engines with an emissions compliance statement and decal that references “Emissions Regulations”.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (“ECS Warranty”) for 1995
and later model year California small off-road engines (for other
states, 1997 and later model year engines):
A. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and
later model year California small off-road engines (for other
states, 1997 and later model year engines). The ECS
Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or
equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser,
and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
B. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Tecumseh Power Company warrants to the original, end-use
purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each
subsequent purchaser that each of its small off-road engines
is:
1. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources
Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part
5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship which,
at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, will 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.
C. The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related
parts on your engine, as follows:
1. Any warranted, emissions-related parts which are not
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Operator’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
Tecumseh Power Company according to Subsection 4
below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of
the ECS Warranty Period.
2. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is
scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Operator’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 which is
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Operator’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
Tecumseh Power Company 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 Tecumseh Authorized
Service Outlet.
5. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor
which leads to the determination that a part covered by
the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such
diagnostic work is performed at a Tecumseh Authorized
Service Outlet.
6. Tecumseh Power Company shall be liable for damages
to other original engine components or approved
modifications proximately caused by a failure under
warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS
Warranty.
7. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Tecumseh Power
Company shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-
related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for
such emission-related parts.
8. Any Tecumseh Power Company authorized and
approved emission-related replacement part may be
used in the performance of any ECS Warranty
maintenance or repair and will be provided without
charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce
Tecumseh Power Company ECS Warranty obligations.
9. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used
to modify or repair a Tecumseh Power Company engine.
Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient
grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.
Tecumseh Power Company shall not be liable hereunder
for failures of any warranted parts of a Tecumseh Power
Company engine caused by the use of such an
unapproved add-on or modified part.
