Coverage by STIHL Incorporated
STIHL Incorporated 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 sale, to meet all applicable emissions 
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 with applicable 
emissions regulations for a period of two 
years.
Warranty Period
The warranty period will begin on the 
date the utility equipment engine is 
purchased by the initial purchaser. 
Product registration is recommended, 
so that STIHL has a means to contact 
you if there ever is a need to 
communicate repair or recall information 
about your product, but it is not required 
in order to obtain warranty service.
If any emission-related part on your 
engine is defective, the part will be 
replaced by STIHL Incorporated 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 
emissions part is defective. However, if 
you claim warranty for an emissions 
component and the machine is tested as 
non-defective, STIHL Incorporated 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 
or at any independent test laboratory.
Warranty Work
STIHL Incorporated 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 Incorporated is liable for 
damages to other engine components 
caused by the failure of an emissions 
warranted part still under warranty.
