YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, United States Environmental
Protection Agency (US EPA), and Ariens Company are pleased
to explain the emissions control system warranty on your 2018
and later small off-road engine (SORE). In California, new small
off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet
the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Ariens Company must
warrant the emission control system (EEC) on your small off-road
engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small
off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the fuel
tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses,
clamps, connectors, and other associated components.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE

If any emissions-related part on your equipment is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Ariens Company.
Provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s
manual. Ariens Company recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Ariens
Company cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts
or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be
aware that Ariens Company 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.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine
to a Ariens Company distribution center as soon as a problem
exists. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should contact Ariens Company at one

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 the
Ariens Company’s application for certification.
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment
is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed in service.
The warranty period is for two years for consumer use and one
year for commercial and rental.
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

associated with diagnosis of a defective, emission-related
warranty part, provided that such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.

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-

will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. Ariens Company

the use of such an add-on or modified part.
