29 Emission Control Warranty
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the small off-road equipment engine owner, you are
responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your instruction manual. STIHL
Limited recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your small off-road equipment engine, but
STIHL Limited cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in
performance and durability may be used in non-warranty
maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty
obligations of the engine manufacturer.
As the small off-road equipment engine owner, you should
be aware, however, that STIHL Limited may deny you
warranty coverage if your small off-road equipment engine
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road
equipment engine to a STIHL service center as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, please contact a STIHL customer service
representative at www.stihl.ca.

Coverage by STIHL Limited
STIHL Limited warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that your small off-road equipment
engine will be designed, built and equipped, at the time of

Warranty Period
The warranty period will begin on the date the utility
equipment engine is purchased by the initial purchaser and
you have signed and sent back the warranty card to STIHL
Ltd. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective,
the part will be replaced by STIHL Limited at no cost to the
owner. Any warranted part which is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance, or which is
scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of "repair
or replace as necessary" will be warranted for the warranty
period. Any warranted part which is scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance will be warranted for
the period of time up to the first scheduled replacement point
for that part.
Diagnosis
You, as the owner, shall not be charged for diagnostic labor
which leads to the determination that a warranted part is
defective. However, if you claim warranty for a component
and the machine is tested as non-defective, STIHL Limited
will charge you for the cost of the emission test. Mechanical
diagnostic work will be performed at an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. Emission test may be performed either at
STIHL Incorporated,
536 Viking Drive, P.O. Box 2015,
Virginia Beach, VA 23452
or at any independent test laboratory.
Warranty Work
STIHL Limited 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. STIHL Limited is liable for damages to other
engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part
still under warranty.

warranted parts:
