FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Kohler Co. are pleased to explain the
Federal and California Emission Control Systems Warranty on your small off-road equipment engine. For California, engines produced in 1995
and later must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state's stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, 1997 and later model year
engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The engine must be free from
defects in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two years of engine use from the
date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Kohler Co. must warrant the emission control system on the engine for the period of time listed above,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance.
The emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter.
Also included are the hoses, belts and connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Kohler Co. will repair the engine at no cost, including diagnosis (if the diagnostic work is performed at an
authorized dealer), parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE
Engines produced in 1995 or later are warranted for two years in California. In other states, 1997 and later model year engines are warranted for
two years. If any emission related part on the engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kohler Co. free of charge.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a)
The engine owner is responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in the owner's manual. Kohler Co. recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on the engine, But Kohler Co. cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to assure that all scheduled maintenance was performed.
(b)
Be aware, however, that Kohler Co. may deny warranty coverage if the engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
(c)
For warranty repairs, the engine must be presented to a Kohler Co. service center as soon as a problem exists. Call 1-800-544-2444 or
access our web site at: www.kohlerengines.com, for the names of the nearest service centers. The warranty repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Kohler Co. at 1-920-457-4441 and ask for an
Engine Service representative.
COVERAGE
Kohler Co. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine will be designed, built and equipped, at the time
of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. Kohler Co. also warrants to the initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser, that the engine is
free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a period of two years.
Engines produced in 1995 or later are warranted for two years in California. For 1997 and later model years, EPA requires manufacturers to
warrant engines for two years in all other states. These warranty periods will begin on the date the engine is purchased by the initial purchaser. If
any emission related part on the engine is defective, the part will be replaced by Kohler Co. at no cost to the owner. Kohler Co. is liable for
damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.

authorized dealer or warranty station shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a warranted part is defective.
