English 28 Limited Warranty
COVERAGE BY STIHL INCORPORATED
STIHL Incorporated warrants to the ultimate purchaser and
each subsequent purchaser that your small off-road zero
emission equipment motor is designed, built and equipped,
at the time of sale, to meet all applicable emission
regulations.
STIHL Incorporated also warrants to the initial purchaser
and each subsequent purchaser that your zero emission
equipment motor is free from defects in materials and
workmanship which cause the your zero emission
equipment motor to fail to conform to applicable emission
regulations for a period of two years.
DEFECTS WARRANTY PERIOD
The warranty periods will begin on the date the utility zero
emission equipment motor is purchased by the initial
purchaser. If any emission-related part on your zero
emission equipment motor is defective, the part will be
replaced by STIHL Incorporated at no cost to the owner.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by CARB
may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or
modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty
claim. STIHL Incorporated will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-
exempted add-on or modified part.
The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted
as follows:
1)Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the written instructions
required in the Emission Warranty Parts List (see below)
must be warranted for the warranty period defined in
Subsection COVERAGE BY STIHL INCORPORATED,
see above. If any such part fails during the period of
warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by the
manufacturer according to Subsection (4) below. Any
such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
2)Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the written instructions required by the
Emission Warranty parts List (see below) must be
warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection
COVERAGE BY STIHL INCORPORATED, see above. A
statement in such written instructions to the effect of
“repair or replace as necessary” will not reduce the period
of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty must be warranted for the remaining
period.
3)Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions required
by the Emission Warranty Parts List (see below) must be
warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or
replaced by the zero emission equipment motor
manufacturer according to Subsection (4) below. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be
warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
4)Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the
warranty must be performed at a warranty station at no
charge to the owner.
5)Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above,
warranty services or repairs will be provided at all
manufacturer distribution centers that are authorized to
service the subject zero emission equipment motor.
6)The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that
leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact
defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.
WARRANTY WORK
STIHL Incorporated shall remedy warranty defects at any
authorized STIHL 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 zero emission
equipment motor components caused by the failure of a
warranted part still under warranty.
