Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and STIHL Incorporated are
pleased to explain the emission control
system warranty on your 2014 and later
small off-road equipment engine.
In California, new equipment that uses
small off-road engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet
the State's stringent anti-smog
standards. STIHL Incorporated must
warrant the emissions control system on
your small off-road engine for the period
listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance
of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system may
include parts such as the carburetor or
fuel-injection system, the ignition
system, and catalytic converter. Also
included may be hoses, belts,
connectors or other emission-related
assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists,
STIHL Incorporated will repair your
small off-road equipment engine at no
cost to you including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty
Responsibilities
This emissions control system is
warranted for two years in California. If
any emissions-related part on your
equipment 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
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
solely for the lack of receipts or 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
