The specified intervals must be 
    shortened accordingly when working for longer than normal each day or under difficult conditions 
    (extensive dust, highly resinous lumber, lumber from tropical trees, etc.). If the machine is only used 
    occasionally, the intervals can be extended accordingly.

    Coverage by STIHL Incorporated
    STIHL Incorporated warrants to the 
    ultimate purchaser and each 
    subsequent purchaser that your small 
    off-road equipment engine will be 
    designed, built and equipped, at the time 
    of sale, to meet all applicable emissions 
    regulations. STIHL Incorporated also 
    warrants to the initial purchaser and 
    each subsequent purchaser that your 
    engine is free from defects in materials 
    and workmanship which cause the 
    engine to fail to conform with applicable 
    emissions regulations for a period of two 
    years.
    Warranty Period
    The warranty period will begin on the 
    date the utility equipment engine is 
    purchased by the initial purchaser. 
    Product registration is recommended, 
    so that STIHL has a means to contact 
    you if there ever is a need to 
    communicate repair or recall information 
    about your product, but it is not required 
    in order to obtain warranty service.
    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 an emissions 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.

    Coverage by STIHL Incorporated
    STIHL Incorporated warrants to the 
    ultimate purchaser and each 
    subsequent purchaser that your small 
    off-road equipment engine 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 engine is free from 
    defects in materials and workmanship 
    which cause the engine 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 equipment engine is 
    purchased by the initial purchaser. If any 
    emission-related part on your engine 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 
    warranty 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

    58that part. If the part fails prior to the 
    first scheduled replacement, the 
    part must be repaired or replaced by 
    the engine 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 engines.
    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 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.

    from such warranty coverage if STIHL 
    Incorporated demonstrates that the 
    STIHL product has been abused, 
    neglected, or improperly maintained, 
    and that such abuse, neglect, or 
    improper maintenance was the direct 
    cause of the need for repair or 
    replacement of the part. That
