YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), together with AMICO INTERNATIONAL CORP, are pleased to explain the Emission Control
System Warranty on your new small off-road engine. New small off-road engines must be designed,
built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards for the state of California and the federal
government. AMICO INTERNATIONAL CORP. warrant the emission control system on your engine
for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification
or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition, intake and exhaust
systems. AMICO INTERNATIONAL CORP. will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis,
replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emission control systems on 1997 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as
hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on
your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be
performed by your dealer.

maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner's Manual. For warranty purposes, AMICO

lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that AMICO
INTERNATIONAL CORP. may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your engine,
or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts not made, supplied or approved
by AMICO INTERNATIONAL CORP.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to your dealer as soon as a problem occurs. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
