you have signed and sent back the war-
ranty card to STIHL Ltd. If any emission
related part on your engine is defective,
the part will be replaced by STIHL
Limited 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 part is
defective. However, if you claim
warranty for a component and the
machine is tested as non-defective,
STIHL Limited will charge you for the
cost of the emission test.
Mechanical diagnostic work will be per-
formed at an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer. Emission test may be performed
either at STIHL Incorporated,
536 Viking Drive, P.O. Box 2015, Virginia
Beach, VA 23452 or at any independent
