ENGINE DIVISION, KOHLER CO., KOHLER, WISCONSIN 53044
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. In California beginning in 2006,
“emissions“ means both exhaust and evaporative emissions. For California, engines produced in 2006 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 2006 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.
