The following statement is hereby provided as required by regulations of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The Federal EPA and KFI are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2004 or later Diesel
heavy duty off-road engine. All new, heavy-duty off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
EPA's stringent anti-smog standards. KFI must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the period
of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, damage, neglect or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as fuel injection pump. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, an authorized Komatsu Forklift dealer will repair the heavy-duty off-road
engine at no cost to the owner, including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Now, KFI hereby certifies that diesel engines for lift trucks produced in 2004 model year and after shall be

nance or disapproved modifications.
