The warranty periods will begin on the
date the utility equipment engine is
purchased by the initial purchaser and
you have signed and sent back the
warranty card to STIHL. 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 mainten-
ance will be warranted for the period of
time up to the first scheduled replace-
ment point for that part.

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
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 mainten-ance or repairs on
emission-related parts and must be
provided without charge to the owner.
