you have signed and sent back the war-
ranty 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 per-
formed 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.
