EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
In complance with the California Air Resources Board,
Yamaha Golf-Car Company is pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your 1996 or later
specialty vehicle engine. New Yamaha speciality
vehicle engines must be designed, built and equipped
to meet stringent anti-smog standards. Yamaha must
warrant the emission control system on your speciality
vehicle engine for the periods of time listed below
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your speciality vehicle engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such
as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition
system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be
hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related
assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Yamaha will
repair your specialty vehicle engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE
The 1996 and later specialty vehicle engines are
warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part
on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired
or replaced by Yamaha.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the specialty vehicle engine owner, you are
•
responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Owner’s/Operator’s
Manual. Yamaha recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your specialty
vehicle engine, but Yamaha cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the specialty vehicle engine owner, you should
•
also be aware that Yamaha may deny you warranty
coverage if your specialty vehicle engine or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your specialty
•
vehicle engine to a Yamaha dealer as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable time, not to exceed 30
days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty
rights and responsibilities, you should contact the
Yamaha Customer Relations Depar tment at (770)
254-4164.
Yamaha Golf-Car Company warrants to the ultimate
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser thereafter
that each new 1996 and later model year specialty
vehicle engine certified for sale is:
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform, at
1.
the time of sale, with all applicable regulations
adopted by the California Air Resources Board.
All warranted parts are free from defects in
2.
material and workmanship for the warranty period
of the specialty vehicle engine or the period prior
to the first scheduled replacement point of the
warranted part as required by the maintenance
schedule, if applicable, whichever is less. A defect
exists when a deficiency in material or
workmanship is such that an emission-related
warranted part does not function as designed.
The warranty period begins on the date that the
specialty vehicle engine is delivered to an ultimate
purchaser or on the date it is first placed in service.
WARRANTED PARTS INCLUDE the following:
Fuel Metering System
1.
Carburetor and internal parts (or fuel injection)
Air/fuel ratio feedback and control system

warranty of a warranted part.

of replacement indicated in the Owner’s/Operator’s
Manual and not the useful life of the specialty vehicle
engine (see your Owner’s/Operator’s Manual).
DURING THE PERIOD OF THIS WARRANTY
Yamaha Golf-Car Company will repair or replace any
warranted part deemed defective by Yamaha during
the scope of the warranty without charge to the
owner, including parts, labor, and diagnosis. This
work must be done at an authorized Yamaha dealer.
Give notice to an authorized Yamaha dealer of any
apparent defect(s) within a reasonable period of time
after discovery. The specialty vehicle engine must be
made available for inspection by an authorized
Yamaha dealer.
OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY: The owner of the
specialty vehicle engine is responsible for the
performance of required maintenance (see your
Owner’s/Operator’s Manual). Receipts and
maintenance records covering the performance of
regular maintenance should be retained in the event
questions arise concerning maintenance. The
receipts should be transferred to each subsequent
owner of this specialty vehicle engine.
The emission control systems of your Yamaha
specialty vehicle engine were designed, built, tested,
and certified as being in conformity with California
emission control regulations using genuine Yamaha
parts. Accordingly, it is recommended that any
replacement part(s) used for maintenance,
replacement, or repair of emission control systems be
Yamaha par ts. The owner may elect to have
maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and systems performed by any repair
establishment or individual, and may elect to use
parts other than Yamaha parts for such maintenance,
replacement, or repair without invalidating this
warranty. However, the cost of such service or parts
will not be covered under the warranty.
EXCLUSIONS: No warranty coverage will be allowed
if the part(s) failure was caused by owner/operator
abuse, neglect, tampering, improper adjustment
unless performed by a dealer during warranty repair
work, modification, misuse, alteration, or improper
maintenance (see your Owner’s/Operator’s Manual).
Use of parts which are not qualitatively equivalent to
genuine Yamaha parts, improper service, or lack of
required maintenance which causes failure of a
warranted part may constitute abuse and/or improper
service, thereby invalidating warranty liability
hereunder.
This warranty does not cover damage resulting from
accidents, acts of nature, or other events or
occurrences beyond the control of Yamaha. Yamaha
Golf-Car Company expressly disclaims responsibility
for any and all consequential damages, such as loss
of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the specialty
vehicle, or commercial loss.
