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

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

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

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.
