Agency (U.S. EPA.)
Emission Control System Warranty

Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and state of
California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission regulations.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:

The California Air Resources Board, US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and
California Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2010 small off-road engine. In California,
new, small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent
anti smog standards. In the other states, new engines must be designed, built and equipped, at
the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. CPE must warrant the
emission control system on your small off-road engine for the period of time listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of
your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the
ignition system, catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If,
during the warranty period, emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or
workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.

OWNER 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. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts
covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but CPE 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 CPE 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 an Authorized CPE service
outlet,CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. 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:

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System Warranty
Coverage.

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):

1. 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.

2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE

CPE 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:
a. 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
b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted
part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s
application for certification for a period of two years.

3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS

FOLLOWS:
a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owners 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 CPE according to Subsection “d”
below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection
as specified in the Owners 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.
c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Owner’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 CPE according to Subsection “d” 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.
d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS
Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
e. 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 CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
f. CPE 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.
g. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted
emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
h. Any CPE 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 CPE’s warranty obligation.
i. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE

 Warranty

engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS
Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a
CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
