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

emissions part is defective. However, if

you claim warranty for an emissions

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 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

warranted part still under warranty.
