Coverage by STIHL Incorporated
STIHL Incorporated warrants to the
ultimate purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that your small
off-road equipment engine is designed,
built and equipped, at the time of sale, to
meet all applicable emission
regulations.
STIHL Incorporated also warrants to the
initial purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that your engine is free from
defects in materials and workmanship
which cause the engine to fail to conform
to applicable emission regulations for a
period of two years.
Defects Warranty Period
The warranty periods will begin on the
date the utility equipment engine is
purchased by the initial purchaser. If any
emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be replaced by
STIHL Incorporated at no cost to the
owner.
Add-on or modified parts that are not
exempted by CARB may not be used.
The use of any non-exempted add-on or
modified parts will be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim. STIHL
Incorporated will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the
use of a non-exempted add-on or
modified part.

The warranty on emissions-related parts
will be interpreted as follows:
1. Any warranted part that is not
scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written
instructions required in the
Emission Warranty Parts List (see
below) must be warranted for the
warranty period defined in
Subsection COVERAGE BY STIHL
INCORPORATED, see above. If
any such part fails during the period
of warranty coverage, it must be
repaired or replaced by the
manufacturer according to
Subsection (4) below. Any such part
repaired or replaced under the
warranty must be warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
2. Any warranted part that is
scheduled only for regular
inspection in the written instructions
required by the Emission Warranty
Parts List (see below) must be
warranted for the warranty period
defined in Subsection COVERAGE
BY STIHL INCORPORATED, see
above. A statement in such written
instructions to the effect of "repair or
replace as necessary" will not
reduce the period of warranty
coverage. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty must be
warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
3. Any warranted part that is
scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written
instructions required by the
Emission Warranty Parts List (see
below) must be warranted for the
period of time prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for
that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the
part must be repaired or replaced by
the engine manufacturer according
to Subsection (4) below. Any such
part repaired or replaced under
warranty must be warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the
first scheduled replacement point
for the part.
4. Repair or replacement of any
warranted part under the warranty
must be performed at a warranty
station at no charge to the owner.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subsection (4) above, warranty
services or repairs will be provided
at all manufacturer distribution
centers that are authorized to
service the subject engines.
6. The owner must not be charged for
diagnostic labor that leads to the
determination that a warranted part
is in fact defective, provided that
such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.
Warranty Work
STIHL Incorporated shall remedy
warranty defects at any authorized
STIHL servicing dealer or warranty
station. Any such work shall be free of
charge to the owner if it is determined
that a warranted part is defective. Any
manufacturer approved or equivalent
replacement part may be used for any
warranty maintenance or repairs on
emission-related parts and must be
provided without charge to the owner.
