ONE WORLD TECHNOLOGIES, INC., FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and One World Technolo-
gies, Inc., are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control
system's warranty on your small off-road equipment. New equip-
ment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet the stringent evaporative standards. One World
Technologies, Inc., must warrant the evaporative emission control
system on your small off-road equipment for the period listed
below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your equipment.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such
as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel line, fuel caps, valves, canisters,
filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated
components.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for three
years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment
is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by One World
Technologies, Inc.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
 As the small off-road equipment owner, you are responsible for
performance of the required maintenance listed in your opera-
tor's manual. One World Technologies, Inc., recommends that
you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-
road equipment, but One World Technologies, Inc., cannot deny
warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
 As the small off-road equipment owner, you should, however, be
aware that One World Technologies, Inc., may deny you warranty
coverage if your small off-road equipment or a part has failed
due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
 You are responsible for presenting your small off-road equip-
ment to a One World Technologies, Inc., distribution center or
service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed 30 days.
If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you
should contact One World Technologies, Inc., at 1-866-539-1710
or www.ridgid.com.
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the equipment is deliv-
ered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The equip-
ment must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any
subsequent owner that the evaporative emission control system
when installed was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all ap-
plicable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause
the failure of a warranted part for a period of three years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be
interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the written instructions must be
warranted for the warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2).
If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage,
it must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer issuing
the warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the
remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion in the written instructions must be warranted for the
warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). A statement in
such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as
necessary" will not reduce the period of warranty coverage.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be
warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty
period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions must be
warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or
replaced by the manufacturer issuing the warranty. Any such
part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted
for a time not less than the remainder of the period prior to
the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the war-
ranty provisions of this article must be performed at no charge
to the owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) above,
warranty services or repairs must be provided at distribution
centers that are franchised to service the subject equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that
leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact
defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system's war-
ranty period set out in subsection (b)(2), the manufacturer
issuing the warranty must maintain a supply of warranted
parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in
the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and
must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use
will not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer
issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this
article. The manufacturer issuing the warranty will not be li-
able under this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts
caused by the use of an add-on or modified part.
