Engine Manual 25
XI. Warranty CONTINUED
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
Ariens Company’s application for certification 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 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 Ariens Company’s
application for certification.
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or
equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. The
warranty period is 4 years or 750 hours (whichever comes
first).
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below,
the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:
Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied
is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If the
part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part
will be repaired or replaced by Ariens Company according
to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced
under the warranty will be warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the written instructions 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.
Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is
warranted for the period of time before the first scheduled
replacement date for that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or
replaced by Ariens Company according to (4) below. 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.
Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the
warranty provisions herein will be performed at a warranty
station at no charge to the owner.
Notwithstanding the provisions of herein, warranty services
or repairs will be provided at all Ariens Company’s dealers
that are franchised to service the subject engines.
The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that is
directly associated with diagnosis of a defective, emission-
related warranty part, provided that such diagnostic work is
performed at a warranty station.
Ariens Company is liable for damages to other engine
components proximately caused by a failure under warranty
of any warranted part.
Throughout the engine’s warranty period defined above,
Ariens Company will maintain a supply of warranted parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
Any replacement part may be used in the performance of
any warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided
without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the
warranty obligations of Ariens Company.
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.
Ariens Company will not be liable to warrant failures of
warranted parts caused by the use of such an add-on or
modified part.
