Standard Engine Warranty Terms 1, 2,

The warranty period begins on the original date of purchase by the first retail or commercial consumer. “Consumer use” means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use” means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once an engine has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use engine for purposes of this warranty.  Save your proof of purchase receipt. If you do not provide proof of the initial purchase date at the time warranty service is requested, the manufacturing date of the product will be used to determine the warranty period. Product registration is not required to obtain warranty service on CHAMPMFG products. About Your Warranty This limited warranty covers engine-related material and/or workmanship issues only, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Routine maintenance, tune-ups, adjustments, or normal wear and tear are not covered under this warranty.

 1. The use of parts that are not original CHAMPMFG parts;  

 2. Operating the engine with insufficient, contaminated, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil;  

 3. The use of contaminated or stale fuel, gasoline formulated with ethanol greater than 10%, or the use of alternative fuels such as liquefied petroleum or natural gas on engines not originally designed/manufactured by CHAMPMFG to operate on such fuels;   

4. Dirt which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance or reassembly;   

5. Striking an object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, lose or improperly installed blade adapters, impellers, or other crankshaft coupled devices, or excessive v-belt tightness;  

 6. Associated parts or assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, equipment controls, etc., which are not supplied by CHAMPMFG. 

7. Overheating due to grass clippings, dirt and debris, or rodent nests which plug or clog the cooling fins or flywheel area, or by operating the engine without sufficient ventilation;   

8. Excessive vibration due to over-speeding, loose engine mounting, lose or unbalanced cutter blades or impellers, or improper coupling of equipment components to the crankshaft;

9. Misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, or warehousing of equipment, or improper engine installation.
