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
warranty 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 that
part. If the part fails prior to the first
scheduled replacement, the part must
be repaired or replaced by the engine
manufacturer according to Subsection
(4) below. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty must be
warranted for the remainder of the
period prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for the part.
4.
Repair or replacement of any
warranted part under the warranty must
be performed at a warranty station at no
charge to the owner.

5. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subsection (4) above, warranty services
or repairs will be provided at all
manufacturer distribution centers that
are authorized to service the subject
engines.
6. The owner must not be charged for
diagnostic labor that leads to the
determination that a warranted part is in
fact defective, provided that such
diagnostic work is performed at a
warranty station.
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 a warranted part
still under warranty.
