that adversely affect performance and/or durability, and

d) Diagnosis and inspection fees that do not result in eligible
warranty service being performed; and
e) Any add-on or modified part, or malfunction of authorized
parts due to the use of add-on or modified parts.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the owner's manual supplied, is warranted
for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the
period of warranty coverage, that part will be repaired or replaced at
no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under
the warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection
in the owner's manual supplied is warranted for the warranty
period. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will
be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner's manual supplied is 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 will be repaired or replaced at no charge to the owner. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for
the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement
point for the part.
• Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air
Resources Board may not be used. The use of any nonexempted
add-on or modified parts by the owner will be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable
to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
nonexempted add on or modified part.
These items will be covered for a period of two years from the
date of the original purchase. Viper warrants that: the compo-
nents are designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the EPA; that they are free from
defects in material and workmanship that could cause failure to
the engine or other components; and that the components used
are identical in all material respects to the engine described in the
manufacturer's application for certification. The warranty period
begins on the date the engine is originally purchased.
MAInTenAnce And RePAIR ReQuIReMenTs
The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance
of the engine. Ardisam, Inc., recommends that all receipts and
records covering the performance of regular maintenance be
retained in case questions arise. If the engine is resold during the
warranty period, the maintenance records should be transferred
to each subsequent owner. Ardisam, Inc., reserves the right to
deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly
maintained; however, Ardisam, Inc., may not deny warranty repairs
solely because of the lack of repair maintenance or failure to keep
maintenance records.
Normal maintenance replacement or repair of emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any repair establishment
or individuals; however, warranty repairs must be performed by an
Ardisam-authorized service center. Any replacement parts or service
that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-
warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty
obligations of the engine manufacturer.
