Limitation Of Liability - Kohler KD103V20 Operation And Maintenance Manual

– Unauthorized changes on the engines or their components void the liability of Kohler Co. for
any resulting property damage or personal injury.
– Interference with the injection and control system may influence the power and exhaust gas
parameters of the engines, meaning that compliance with statutory environmental require‐
ments is no longer assured.
Any other use above and beyond this is considered to be improper use. In this case, Kohler Co.
is not liable for any damage. The risk is borne solely by the user.
