COMBINED EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and Chongqing Rato Power Manufacturing Corporation (RATO), are pleased
to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2014-2015 model year
small off-road engine/equipment. In the United States and California, new small
off-road engine/equipments must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti smog standards. RATO must warrant the emission control
system on your small off-road engine/equipment for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small
off-road engine/equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel
caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, belts, and other
associated components. For engines less than or equal to 80 cc, only the fuel
tank is subject to the evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this
section. (California only)
Where a warrantable condition exists, RATO will repair your small off-road engine/
equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related
part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by RATO.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine/equipment owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. RATO
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road
engine/equipment, but RATO cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or
for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine/equipment owner, you should however be aware that
RATO may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine/equipment
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine/equipment to a RATO
distribution center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact 1-866-340-3912 or visit www.powerstroketools.com.
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine/equipment is delivered to an
ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. RATO warrants to the ultimate purchaser
and each subsequent owner that the engine/equipment is:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations
adopted by the Air Resources Board; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of
a warranted part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions required by subsection (d) must be
warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). If any such
part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or
replaced by RATO according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired
or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty
period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written
instructions required by subsection (d) must be warranted for the warranty
period defined in Subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written instructions
to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" will not reduce the period
of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty
must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions required by subsection (d) must 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
must be repaired or replaced by RATO according to Subsection (4) below.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for
the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty must be
performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
WARRANTY
(5)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above, warranty services
or repairs must be provided at all RATO distribution centers that are
franchised to service the subject engine/equipments.
(6)
The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the
determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that
such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7)
RATO is liable for damages to other engine/equipment components
proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
(8)
Throughout the emissions warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2),
RATO must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the
expected demand for such parts.
(9)
Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty
maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner.
Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of RATO.
(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board
may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts
will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. RATO will not be liable to
warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
(11) RATO issuing the warranty shall provide any documents that describe that
manufacturer's warranty procedures or policies within five working days
of request by the Air Resources Board.
