Page 29
The California Air Resources Board, US Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) and FIRMAN POWER EQUIPMENT INC.(FIRMAN)
are pleased to explain the exhaust and evaporative emissions control systems warranty on your 2016-2017 or later Small Off-Road
Engine (“SORE”) and engine powered equipment as applicable. In California and the USA, SORE and engine powered equipment
must be designed, built and equipped to meet California as applicable. In California and the USA, SORE and engine powered
equipment must be designed, built and equipped to meet California and US EPA stringent anti-smog standards. FIRMAN
must warrant the emissions control systems on your SORE and engine powered equipment for the period listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your SORE or engine powered equipment. Your exhaust emission
control systems may include parts such as carburetors, fuel-injection systems, the ignition system, and catalytic converters. Also
included may be an evaporative emission control system which may include 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).
As the SORE or engine powered equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed
in your owner’s manual. FIRMAN recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE or engine powered
equipment, but FIRMAN cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
As the SORE or engine powered equipment owner, you should however be aware that FIRMAN may deny you warranty coverage
if your SORE or engine powered equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE or engine powered equipment to a FIRMAN distribution or service 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
a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact a FIRMAN at 1-844-347-6261.
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. FIRMAN warrants to the
ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is:
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board and US EPA;
and 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 manufacturers application for certification.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
(1) 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, the part will be
repaired or replaced by FIRMAN at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the owner's manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) 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 by FIRMAN 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.
(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 by FIRMAN 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) FIRMAN 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), FIRMAN will 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 the manufacturer.
(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 by the ultimate purchaser 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 non-exempted add-on or modified
part.
