FOREWORD

Warranty coverage

(a) The warranty period shall begin on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser of the en-

gine registered in the state of California that the engine is:
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources

Board.

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical

in all material respects to the parts as described in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.'s application for certifi-
cation for a period of 5 years or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. In the absence of a device
to measure hours of use, the engine shall be warranted for a period of 5 years. For all engines rated less
than 19 kW, and for constant-speed engines rated under 37 kW with rated speeds higher than or equal to
3,000 min

-1

, the period of 2 years or 1,500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first, shall apply. In the ab-

sence of a device to measure hours of use, the engine shall be warranted for a period of 2 years.

(1) Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instruc-

tions required by Subsection (e) shall be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b) (2). If
any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it shall be repaired or replaced by Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, Ltd. according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the war-
ranty shall be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(2) Any warranted part which is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions required by Sub-

section (e) shall be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b) (2). A statement in such writ-
ten instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall not reduce the period of warranty
coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty shall be warranted for the remaining war-
ranty period.

(3) Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions

required in Subsection (e) 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 re-
placed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled re-
placement point for the part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions shall be performed at no charge

to the owner at a warranty station.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above, warranty services or repairs shall be provided at all

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. distribution centers that are franchised to service the subject engines.

(6) The owner shall 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) Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. shall be liable for damages to other engine components proximately caused

by failure under warranty of any warranted part.

(8) Throughout the engine's warranty period defined in Subsection (b) (2), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. shall

maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

(9)

Any replacement part, as defined in Section 1900(b)(13), Title 13, may be used in the performance of any

maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. It is not necessary for replace-
ment parts to be the same brand or by the same manufacturer as the original part sold with the engine.
Such use shall not reduce the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
