7.0 Warranty Information
7.1 California Emissions Control Warranty Statement
Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Alpha Technologies, Inc. have established the following
emissions control system warranty on 2008 and later small off-road engines (SORE). In California, new
SOREs must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Alpha
must warrant the emissions control system on SOREs for the periods of time listed below provided there
has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of the SOREs.
The emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel tanks, fuel caps, fuel lines, the
ignition system, and the catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, clamps, connectors and
other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Alpha will repair the small engine at no cost, including diagnosis,
parts, and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
The emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on the SORE is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Alpha.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
• The SORE owner is responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in the
Owner’s Manual. Alpha recommends retaining all receipts covering maintenance on the SORE, but
Alpha cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for failure to ensure the performance of
all scheduled maintenance.
• The SORE owner should however be aware that Alpha may deny warranty coverage if the SORE or
a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modications.
• The SORE owner is responsible for presenting the SORE to a distribution center or service center
authorized by Alpha as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
For any questions regarding warranty coverage, contact Alpha’s technical support.
