Operation Manual

2. Warranty Period
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.
3. 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 will charge
you for the cost of the emission test.
Mechanical diagnostic work is performed
at an authorized Stihl servicing dealer.
Emission test may be performed either
at Stihl or at any independent test
laboratory.
4. Consequential Damages
Stihl is liable for damages to other
engine components caused by the
failure of a warranted part still under
warranty.
D. What is not Covered
1. Failures caused by abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance.
2. Add-on or modified parts
(non-genuine parts).
The use of add-on or modified parts can
be grounds for disallowing a warranty
claim. The engine manufacturer is not
liable to cover failures of warranted parts
caused by the use of add-on or modified
parts.
E. How to File a Claim
Bring the product to any authorized Stihl
servicing dealer and present the signed
warranty card.
F. Where to get Warranty Service
Warranty services or repairs will be
provided at all authorized Stihl servicing
dealers.
G. Maintenance;
Replacement and Repair
of Emission-related Parts
Any Stihl-approved replacement part
may be used in the performance of any
warranty maintenance or repairs on
emission-related parts, and will be
provided without charge to the owner if
the part is still under warranty.
