replacement or repaired part, or (2) reimbursement for the cost of the part repair or replacement.
Repair labor provided under the Industrial Engine Warranty includes labor expenses necessary to
complete a warranted repair, including reasonable labor (as defined by MENA) incurred for Engine
removal and re-installation when necessary to perform a warranted repair. Labor expenses will be
reimbursed according to Mitsubishi’s flat rate manual and at regular daytime labor rates.

accessible North American locations during the warranty period when repair labor is provided; however,
round trip mileage is limited to 250 miles per warranted repair.
Portable equipment: Repairs shall be offered at a Mitsubishi authorized service facility as determined
by MENA. Therefore no compensation or reimbursement for transportation cost of any kind will be
allowed.

of the defective qualifying part. MENA shall not be responsible for labor costs incurred for
repairs covered under the Major Component Warranty nor shall MENA be responsible for parts
other than the qualifying parts.
OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES

warranty period and have the repairs completed by an Authorized MENA Engine Distributor. The Owner
is responsible for normal wear, adjustments and scheduled maintenance including injection nozzle
cleaning and engine valve adjustments. The Owner is responsible for maintaining the Industrial Engine
according to recommendations contained in the Mitsubishi Industrial Engine Operations and
Maintenance Manual and all other manuals and instructions supplied by MENA and or its related
companies. Maintenance parts and fluids including lubricating oil, antifreeze and belts are the Owner’s
responsibility unless the materials were damaged by the failure and cannot be reused. The Owner is
responsible for all labor costs and other costs not specifically described herein as MENA’s responsibility,
including overtime or holiday repair labor, lodging and transportation to remote sites and premium
transportation expenses. During the Major Component Warranty, the owner is responsible for all parts
and labor costs, except for the parts covered by the Major Component Warranty.

cooling systems, and failure to keep the engine air intake free of foreign material, improper storage,

modification to engines by anyone who has not been so authorized by MENA in writing. MENA is not

approved by MENA; repairs necessary due to use of parts not supplied by MENA; repairs caused by
abuse, misuse, accidents, acts of God or unauthorized modification; repairs made by unauthorized repair
shops; corrections of alleged defects where documentation is inadequate to support the claim or the

the engine is not covered by warranty including but not limited to these parts: pistons, liners, piston rings,
valves, valve seats, valve guides, gears, bearings, crankshaft, camshaft, nozzle and plunger. The
following items are not covered by warranty because they are deemed to have resulted from normal
