Coverage by STIHL Limited
STIHL Limited 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 regulations. STIHL Limited also war‐
rants to the initial purchaser and each subse‐
quent purchaser that your engine is free from
defects in materials and workmanship which
cause the engine to fail to conform with applica‐
ble 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 ini‐
tial purchaser and you have signed and sent
back the warranty card to STIHL Ltd. If any emis‐
sion-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 mainte‐
nance, 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 diag‐
nostic 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 performed 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 test laboratory.
Warranty Work
STIHL Limited shall remedy warranty defects at
any authorized STIHL servicing dealer or war‐
ranty station. Any such work shall be free of
charge to the owner if it is determined that a war‐
ranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-
