YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Chongqing RATO
Power Manufacturing Corporation (RATO), are pleased to explain the emission
control system warranty on your small off-road engine. In the United States except
California, new small off-road engines 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 for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small
off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may
be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, RATO will repair your small off-road engine
at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emissions Control System is warranted for two years on small off-road engine. If
any emission related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or
replaced by RATO. RATO provides warranty coverage for a period of two years.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine 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, 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 owner, you should however be aware that RATO may
deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due
to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine 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 www.powerstroketools.com.
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or 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 or equipment is:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations
adopted by the Air Resources Board and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (U.S.EPA);
(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 mainte-
nance 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 mainte-
nance 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.

(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 engines.
(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 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.

manufacturer's warranty procedures or policies within five working days of
