manufactured and carefully inspected in the same factories that built the skid steer, to insure high quality and
accurate fitting of any necessary replacement parts. Be prepared to give your dealer the model and serial
number of the engine and skid steer when ordering parts. Locate these numbers now and record them

, FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY
New Holland warrants that your new 1998 N844T or 1999 N844 and later heavy-duty off-road diesel engine was designed, built, and equipped
to conform to applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations for a period of use of five years or 3,000 hours of operation,
whichever occurs first.
The new model year, class of diesel engine, and emission application determination for your engine are identified on the emission control
information label affixed to the top of your engine’s rocker arm cover. The warranty period begins on the date the new equipment is sold to the
first retail purchaser.
Any emission control system parts which are proven defective during normal use will be repaired or replaced during the warranty period. The
warranty repairs and service will be performed by any authorized New Holland dealer at the dealer’s place of business, with no charge for parts
or labor (including diagnosis).
As the engine owner, you are responsible to perform all the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. New Holland will not deny an
emission warranty claim solely because you have no record of maintenance; however, a claim may be denied if your failure to perform
maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted part. Receipts covering regular maintenance should be retained in the event of questions and
these receipts should be passed on to each subsequent owner of the engine.
It is recommended replacement parts used for maintenance or repairs be New Holland Service Parts to maintain the quality originally designed
into your emission certified engine. The use of non-New Holland parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless the use of
such parts causes damage to warranted parts.
New Holland wishes to assure the emission control systems warranty is being properly administered. If you believe you have not received the
service entitled to under this warranty, you should contact the nearest New Holland Branch Office for assistance. The address and phone
number of each Branch Office is in your vehicle owner’s manual. If additional assistance or information is needed, contact:
