MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 1995 and later small off road engines are warranted for two
years in California. In other states, 1997 and later model year
small off road engines are also warranted for two years. If any
emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Emak s.p.a. free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
a) As the small off road engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the
required maintenance listed in the
owner's manual. Emak USA recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on you small off road engine,
but Emak USA cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance. Any replacement part or service that
is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in
non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the
warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
b) As the small off road engine owner, you should be aware,
however, that Emak s.p.a. 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.
c) You are responsible for presenting your nonroad or small off
road engine to an authorized dealer as soon as a problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days.
COVERAGE
Emak s.p.a. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that your small off road engine will be designed,
built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet all applicable
regulations. Emak USA also warrants to the initial purchaser and
each subsequent purchaser that your small off road engine is
free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the
engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a period
of two years.
The 1995 and later small off road engines are warranted for two
years in California. In all other states for 1997 and later model
years, EPA requires manufacturers to warrant small off road engines
for two years. These warranty periods will begin on the date
the small off road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser. If
any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will
be replaced by Emak USA at no cost to the owner.
Emak USA shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized
Emak s.p.a. engine dealer or warranty station. Any authorized
work done at an authorized dealer or warranty station shall be
free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a warranted
part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equivalent
replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or
repairs on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of
charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty. Emak USA
is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
The California Air Resources Board's Emission Warranty Parts
List specifically defines the
emission-related warranted parts
(EPA's regulations do not include a parts list, but EPA considers
emission-related warranted parts to include all the parts listed
below). These warranted parts are:
the carburetor assy, coil
assy, rotor, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, intake manifold, the
gaskets and catalytic converter (if fitted with your model).
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:
The owner is responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance as defined by the Emak s.p.a. in the owner's
manual.
LIMITATIONS:
This Emission Control Systems Warranty shall not cover any of
the following:
a) repair or replacement required because of misuse of neglect,
lack of required maintenance, repairs improperly performed or
replacements not conforming to Emak USA specifications that
adversely affect performance and/or durability, and alterations
or modifications not recommended or approved in writing by
Emak USA.
b) replacement of parts and other services and adjustments
necessary for required maintenance at and after this first scheduled
replacement point.

State and Local Requirements
This engine is
NOT equipped with a Spark Arrester System
complying with the requirements of SAE Recommended Practice
J335 and California Codes 4442 and 4443. All national forest
land and land managed by the states of California, Maine,
Washington, Idaho, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon require
internal combustion engines to be equipped with a spark
arrester screen by law. Other states and federal agencies are
enacting similar regulations.
Operating this engine in a state or locale where such regulations
exist, could resulting a violation of a law.
Note: When using this machine for logging purposes, refer to
Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1910 and 1928.
Use of fuel with alcohol
CAUTION: Never use a fuel with an alcohol percentage
higher than 10%; gasohol up to 10% alcohol or E10 fuel
are acceptable.
When using an Oxygenated Gasoline a good practice of Fuel
Management is necessary.
Gasoline Oxygenated with alcohol readily takes/up water when it
is present; the water may be condensed out of humid air or be a
contaminant in the fuel system, including tank.
CAUTION:
- Match your fuel purchases to your consumption; don't buy
more than you will use in one or two months;
- Store gasoline in a tightly-closed container in a cool, dry
place.
The use of Oxygenated Gasoline may cause the occurrence of
vapor-lock easier.
