LIMITATIONS
T he Emission Control Systems Warranty shall not cover any of the
following:
a) Repair or replacement required because of misuse or neglect,
improper maintenance, repairs improperly performed or
replacements not conforming to Ardisam, Inc. specifications that
adversely affect performance and/or durability and alterations
or modifications not recommended or approved in writing by
Ardisam, Inc.
b) Replacement of parts and other services and adjustments
necessary for required maintenance at or after the first sched-
uled replacement point;
c) Consequential damages such as loss of time, inconvenience,
loss of use of the engine or equipment, etc.
d) Diagnosis and inspection fees that do not result in eligible
warranty service being performed; and
e) Any add-on or modified part, or malfunction of authorized parts
due to the use of add-on or modified parts.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner's manual supplied, is warranted for the
warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period
of warranty coverage, that part will be repaired or replaced at no
charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection
in the owner's manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner's manual supplied, is 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
will be repaired or replaced at no charge to the owner. Any such
part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point
for the part.
• Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air
Resources Board may not be used. The use of any nonexempted
add on or modified parts by the owner will be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable
to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
nonexempted add on or modified part.
These items will be covered for a period of two years from the
date of the original purchase. Viper warrants that: the compo-
nents are designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all
applicable regulations adopted by the EPA; that they are free from
defects in material and workmanship that could cause failure to
the engine or other; and that the components used are identical in
all material respects to the engine described in the manufacturer's
application for certification. The warranty period begins on the
date the engine is originally purchased.
MAINTENANCE ANd REPAIR REqUIREMENTS
The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance
of the engine. Ardisam, Inc. recommends that all receipts and
records covering the performance of regular maintenance be
retained in case questions arise. If the engine is resold during the
warranty period, the maintenance records should be transferred
to each subsequent owner. Ardisam, Inc. reserves the right to
deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly
maintained; however, Ardisam, Inc. may not deny warranty repairs
solely because of the lack of repair maintenance or failure to keep
maintenance records.
Normal maintenance replacement or repair of emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any repair establishment or indi-
viduals; however, warranty repairs must be performed by an Ardisam
authorized service center. Any replacement parts or service that is
equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty
maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations
of the engine manufacturer.
