and equipped to meet stringent EPA and C.A.R.B. anti-smog standards. Shindaiwa 
Inc. warrants the emission control system 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:  carburetor/fuel injected 
system, ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, 
canisters, filters vapor hoses, clamps connectors, and other associated components.  
For certain hand-held products with engines less than or equal to 80cc displace-
ment, the fuel tank is subject to the C.A.R.B. evaporative emission control warranty

representative will repair your small off road engine at no cost to you including

emission related parts.  If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, 
the part will be repaired or replaced by Shindaiwa Inc. or its authorized service 
representative.

•  As the small off road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of 
the required maintenance listed in your Operator's Manual. Shindaiwa Inc. recom-
mends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off road 
engine, but Shindaiwa Inc. 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 
Shindaiwa Inc. may deny you warranty coverage if your small off road engine or a 
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifi-
cations.

You are responsible for presenting your small off road engine to Shindaiwa Inc.’s 
authorized service center as soon as a problem exists.  The warranty repairs should 
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

This includes any labor and diagnosis for warranted repairs performed by the dealer.  
In addition, engine parts not expressly covered under this warranty but whose failure 
is a result of a failure of a covered part will be warranted.

reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days.

If the diagnosis reveals no defect, the emission defect warranty does not apply.
