United Sates Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Buffalo Corp are pleased to explain the emissions control 
system warranty on your 2020 small off road engine (SORE). Buffalo Corp must warrant the emissions control system on 
your SOREs for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of 
your SOREs. Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel tanks, fuel caps, fuel lines, the 
ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, clamps, connectors and other emission related 
assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Buffalo Corp. will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you 
including diagnosis, parts and labor. 

 
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE: 

The emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emissions related part on your engine is defective, the part 
will be repaired or replaced by Buffalo Corp. 
 

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

As the SORE owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual.

deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. 
As the SORE owner, you should however be aware that Buffalo Corp. may deny your warranty coverage if your SORE or 
a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. 
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to distribution center or service center authorized by Buffalo Corp. as soon 
as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
