KAWASAKI LIMITED WARRANTY CALIFORNIA
AND FEDERAL EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS
The California Air Resources Board, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (hereinafter
"Kawasaki") are pleased to explain the Emissions Control Systems Warranty on your Kawasaki small off-road engine. In California and
other states, new small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards. Kawasaki must
warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine for the period of time listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine. Your emissions control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emissions related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Kawasaki will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis (if the diagnostic work is performed at a Kawasaki small off-road engine dealer), parts and labor.
OWNERS WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES. The following obligations must be fulfilled by the owner to maintain the validity of the
Kawasaki California / EPA Emissions Systems Warranty:
(a) As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's
manual. Kawasaki recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Kawasaki
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an authorized Kawasaki small off-road engine Dealer as soon as
a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
(c) As the small off-road engine owner, you should also be aware that Kawasaki 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.
(d) If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.,
Consumer Services Department, 5080 36th Street, S.E., Grand Rapids, MI 49512, 949-460-5687.
1. COVERAGE. Kawasaki warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the small off-road engine is free from
defects in materials and workmanship which cause a failure of a warranted part for a period of two years. Kawasaki is liable for
damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty. The 1995 and later small off-road
engines are warranted for two years in California. In all other states, 1997 and later model year small off-road engines are warranted
for two years. If any emissions-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kawasaki. This
warranty time period shall begin on the date the small off-road engine is delivered to the initial purchaser, or on the date the small
off-road engine is first placed in service.
Warranty defects shall be remedied during customary business hours at any authorized Kawasaki small off-road engine dealer
located within the United States of America. Any manufacturer-approved replacement part may be used in the performance of any
warranty maintenance or repairs on emissions-related parts, and must be provided without charge to the owner if the part is still
under warranty. Any part or parts replaced under this warranty shall become the property of Kawasaki.
