system on your small off-road equipment for the period listed

below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or

vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated

components.

years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your

equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced

by Ariens Company.

As the small off-road equipment owner, you are

responsible for the performance of the required

maintenance listed in your Owner's Manual. Ariens

Company recommends that you retain all receipts

covering maintenance on your small off-road equipment,

but Ariens Company cannot deny warranty solely for the

lack of receipts.

however be aware that the Ariens Company may deny

you warranty coverage if your evaporative emission

control system part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or

improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

(2.) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that

causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of

fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be

repaired or replaced by the Ariens Company. 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

inspection in the written instructions must be

warranted for the warranty period defined in

subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written

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

Company 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 liable under this Article to

warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use

of an add-on or modified part.
