California, United States and Canada Emissions Control
Defects Warranty Statement
California, U.S. EPA and DUCAR are pleased to explain to explain
the Emissions Control System Warranty on your small off-road
engine (SORE). In California, new small off-road engines model
year 2006 and later must be designed, built and equipped to
meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Elsewhere in
the United States, new non-road, spark-ignition engines certi-
fied for model year 1997 and later must meet similar standards
set forth by the U.S. EPA. DUCAR must warrant the emissions
control system on your engine for the periods of time listed
below, provided there has been on abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system includes parts such as the carbu-
retor, air cleaner, ignition system, fuel line, muffler and catalytic
converter. Also included may be connectors and other emissions
related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, DUCAR will repair your
small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
Small off-road engines are warranted relative to emissions control
parts defects for a period of two years, subject to provisions set
forth below. If any covered part on your engine is defective, the
part will be repaired or replaced by DUCAR.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your Opera-
tion and Maintenance Instructions, DUCAR recommends that
you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small
off-road engine, but DUCAR 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 DUCAR 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.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact a DUCAR Service Repre-
sentative.
The emissions warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged
on normal engine performance. The warranty is not related to
an in-use emissions test.
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions
Control Defects Warranty Coverage. It is in addition to the
DUCAR engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in the
Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
1. Warranted Parts
Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts listed
below (the emissions control systems parts) to the extent these
parts were present on the engine purchased.
a. Fuel Metering System
• Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
• Carburetor and internal parts
• Fuel line, fuel line fittings, clamps
• Fuel tank, cap
• Carbon canister
2. Length of Coverage
DUCAR warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent
purchaser that the Warranted Parts shall be free from defects
in materials and workmanship which caused the failure of the
Warranted Parts for a period of two years from the date the
engine is delivered to a retail purchaser.

3. No Charge
Repair or replacement of any Warranted Part will be performed

liable to cover failures of Warranted Parts censed by the use
of add-on, non-original, or modified parts.
5. Maintenance
Any Warranted Part which is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance or which is scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary"
shall be warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any
Warranted Part which is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance shall be warranted as to defects only for the pe-
riod of time up to the first scheduled replacement for that part.
Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance and
durability may be used in the performance of any maintenance
or repairs. The owner is responsible for the performance of

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index
Information On Your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) Emissions Standard must display information
regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index.
DUCAR makes this information available to the consumer on
our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate
certification information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours
of actual running time for which the engine is certified to be emis-
sions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance
with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following
categories are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of
actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of
actual engine running time.
DUCAR engines are certified to meet the United States Environ-
mental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emissions standards.
For Phase 2 certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period
referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the
number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown
to meet Federal emissions requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement.
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.
Emissions Compliance Period = 125 Hours
Emissions Compliance Period = 250 Hours
