FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
together with Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam), are pleased to explain
the Emission Control System Warranty on your small off-road
engine (SORE). New small off-road engines must be designed,
built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards
the federal government. Ardisam will warrant the emission
control system on your engine for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modifica-
tion or improper maintenance of your engine.
The emission control system includes all components whose
failure would increase the emissions of any regulated pollut-
ant. These components are listed in the emission-related parts
list located in a subsequent section of this emissions warranty
statement. Ardisam will repair your engine at no cost to you
for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrant-
able condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The emission control system is warranted for two years.
If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part
on your engine is found to be defective in materials or
workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a
Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for
the completion of all required maintenance as listed in
your factory supplied Manual(s). For warranty purposes,
Ardisam recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your SORE. However, Ardisam cannot
deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or
for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware
that Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage
or responsibility if your SORE or a part/component thereof,
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market”
parts not made, supplied or approved by Ardisam.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam
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 Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service
Facility. To locate the Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service
Facility nearest you, call our free number:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your
rights and obligations under the Emission Control System
Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Ardisam
pursuant to federal law. See also the Ardisam “Product
Warranty” (non-emission warranties), which is enclosed
herewith on a separate sheet or located in additional materials
accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies only to
the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any
conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam
Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances
where the Ardisam Warranty may provide a longer warranty
period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty
describe important rights and obligations with respect to your
new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam
Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting
warranty service, evidence must be presented showing the
date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. Ardisam
will not be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses
incurred while the engine is being transported/shipped for
inspection or warranty repairs.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR WARRANTY
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, YOU SHOULD CONTACT
ARDISAM AT THE ADDRESS ON THE BACK COVER.
