English / USA
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 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 
caused by the failure of a warranted part 
still under warranty.
The following list specifically defines the 
emission-related warranted parts: 
Carburetor
Choke (Cold start enrichment system)
Intake manifold

STIHL servicing dealer and present the
