Stihl HL 75 K Instruction Manual - Page 37

English / USA Warranty Period 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 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 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 manufacturerapproved or equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs on emissionrelated 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. The California Air Resources Board's Emission Warranty Parts List specifically defines the emission-related warranted parts. These warranted parts are: Carburetor Choke (Cold start enrichment system) Intake manifold Air filter Spark plug Magneto or electronic ignition system (ignition module) Catalytic converter (if applicable) Fasteners Where to make a claim for Warranty Service Bring the product to any authorized STIHL servicing dealer and present the signed warranty card. Maintenance Requirements The maintenance instructions in this manual are based on the application of the recommended 2-stroke fuel-oil mixture (see also instruction "Fuel"). Deviations from this recommendation regarding quality and mixing ratio of fuel and oil may require shorter maintenance intervals. Limitations This Emission Control Systems Warranty shall not cover any of the following: : repair or replacement required because of misuse, neglect or lack of required maintenance, : repairs improperly performed or replacements not conforming to STIHL Incorporated specifications that adversely affect performance and/or durability, and alterations or modifications not recommended or approved in writing by STIHL Incorporated, and : replacement of parts and other services and adjustments necessary for required maintenance at and after the first scheduled replacement point. 36 HL 75, HL 75 K
