Section C: LSI<1L –Three Years
California and Federal Exhaust Emission Control Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board, US Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) and Kohler Co. are pleased to explain the
exhaust emission control systems warranty on your 2014-2015 Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition engine displacing less than 1 liter (“LSI
<1L”) and engine powered equipment as applicable. In California and the USA, LSI <1L must be designed, built and equipped to meet
California and US EPA stringent anti-smog standards. Kohler Co. must warrant the emission control systems on your LSI <1L for the
period listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your LSI <1L.
Your exhaust emission control systems may include parts such as carburetors, fuel-injection systems, the ignition system, and catalytic
converters.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The 1995 and later LSI <1L exhaust emission control system is warranted for three years. If any exhaust emission-related part on your
LSI <1L is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kohler Co.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the LSI <1L owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Kohler Co.
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your LSI <1L, but Kohler Co. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts. As the LSI <1L owner, you should however be aware that Kohler Co. may deny you warranty coverage if your LSI <1L or a
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your LSI <1L to a Kohler Co. distribution or service center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty
coverage, you should contact a Kohler Dealer at 1-800-544-2444.
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. Kohler Co. warrants to the
ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is:
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board and US EPA; and
Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the
part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted
for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced
by Kohler Co. at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted for the remaining
warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period
stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is 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 will be repaired or replaced by Kohler Co. at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be
warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted
add-on or modified parts by the ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be
liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
