LIMITATIONS

This Emission Control Systems Warranty shall not cover any of the following:

(a)

repair or replacement required because of misuse or neglect, improper maintenance, repairs improperly performed or replacements

not conforming to Kohler Co. specifications that adversely affect performance and/or durability and alterations or modifications not

recommended or approved in writing by Kohler Co.,

(b)

replacement of parts and other services and adjustments necessary for required maintenance at and after the first scheduled

replacement point,

(c)

consequential damages such as loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the engine or equipment, etc.,

(d)

diagnosis and inspection fees that do not result in eligible warranty service being performed, and

(e)

any add-on or modified part, or malfunction of authorized parts due to the use of add-on or modified parts.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR REQUIREMENTS

The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. Kohler Co. recommends that all receipts and records covering

the performance of regular maintenance be retained in case questions arise. If the engine is resold during the warranty period, the

maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent owner. Kohler Co. reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the

engine has not been properly maintained; however, Kohler Co. may not deny warranty repairs solely because of the lack of repair

maintenance or failure to keep maintenance records.

Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any repair establishment or

individual; however, 

warranty repairs must be performed by a Kohler authorized service center

.

 

 Any replacement part or service that

is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty

obligations of the engine manufacturer.
