Manufacturer’s Warranty 
Responsibilities
The exhaust and evaporative emissions 
control system on your small off-road 
equipment engine is warranted for two 
years. If any emission-related part on 
your small off-road equipment engine is 
defective, the part will be repaired or 
replaced by STIHL Incorporated free of 
charge.
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 Incorporated 
recommends that you retain all receipts 
covering maintenance on your small off-
road equipment engine, but STIHL 
Incorporated cannot deny warranty 
coverage solely for the lack of receipts 
or for your failure to ensure the 
performance of all scheduled 
maintenance.
As the small off-road equipment engine 
owner, you should however be aware 
that STIHL Incorporated may deny you 
warranty coverage if your small off-road 
equipment engine or a part has failed 
due to abuse, neglect, or improper 
maintenance or unapproved 
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your 
small off-road equipment engine to a 
STIHL servicing dealer as soon as the 
problem exists. The warranty repairs 
should 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 1-800-467-
8445 or you can write to
STIHL Inc., 536 Viking Drive,
P.O. Box 2015,
Virginia Beach, VA 23450-2015.

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 
99warranty 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
