WHAT IS NOT COVERED

Normal Wear: Remanufactured engine products, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform correctly. Our warranty would not apply if damage to the product has occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified with aftermarket performance enhancing parts.

IMPROPER MAINTENANCE:

The life of a mechanical device depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

Our warranty will not extend to cover repairs if:

  1. Problems caused by parts that are not our original (remanufacturer) parts.
  2. Damage as a result of Overheating, Lack of Lubrication, Fuel Wash or Contamination.
  3. Damage resulting from Pre-Ignition or Detonation – Including but not limited to melted or broken piston, broken piston rings, damaged cylinder heads, leaking head gaskets, etc.
  4. Repair or replacement required as a result of any accident or misuse.
  5. Repair or replacement of any accessory or service item, including specifically but not limited to: all components of the cooling, fuel, electrical, exhaust and ignition systems in addition to all belts, hoses, sensors, switches and filters.
  6. Any product used for competition, racing or related purposes.
  7. Any product to which a device or accessory not conforming to original manufacturer’s specifications has been installed.
  8. Damage as a result of electrolysis, including but not limited to, deterioration of engine components as a result of excessive electrical current.
  9. Improperly maintained coolant, and/or any product on which periodic maintenance services required by the original manufacturer have not been performed.
  10. Crankshaft Thrust Surface worn due to excessive forward pressure placed on the rear of the crankshaft.
  11. Damage resulting from improper repair(s) or attempted repair(s) by any service technician.
  12. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel.
  13. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check and refill when necessary, and change at recommended intervals). Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly maintained.
  14. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches and transmissions.
  15. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance, re-assembly or use of a non-original air cleaner element or cartridge. At recommended intervals, clean and/or replace the filter as stated in the Operator’s Manual.
  16. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft or other abuse in operation.
  17. Lack of routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
  18. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides or burned starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate fuels such as, liquefied petroleum, natural gas, altered gasoline, etc.
  19. Products used for purposes other than their original intended use.

No warranty shall apply to products installed on any Recreational Vehicles over 11,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight which includes most Class A, Class B and Class C Motor Homes and Bus conversions. Additionally, please be aware that the only engines designed expressly for large motor homes should never be used in such an application.

Products used in competitive racing or on commercial or rental race tracks are not warranted. Or remanufactured engine products are not warranted if used in an application for which they were not engineered e.g., using standard gasoline engines in a marine application.
