LIMITED 2 YEAR COMMAND ENGINE WARRANTY

We warrant to the original consumer that each new COMMAND engine sold by us will be free from manufacturing defects in materials or

workmanship in normal service for a period of two (2) years from date of purchase, provided it is operated and maintained in accordance

with Kohler Co.’s instructions and manuals.

Our obligation under this warranty is expressly limited, at our option, to the replacement or repair at Kohler Co., Kohler, Wisconsin 53044,

or at a service facility designated by us of such parts as inspection shall disclose to have been defective.

EXCLUSIONS:

Mufflers on engines used commercially (non-residential) are warranted for one (1) year from date of purchase, except catalytic mufflers,

which are warranted for two (2) years.

This warranty does not apply to defects caused by casualty or unreasonable use, including faulty repairs by others and failure to provide

reasonable and necessary maintenance.

The following items are not covered by this warranty:

Engine accessories such as fuel tanks, clutches, transmissions, power-drive assemblies, and batteries, unless supplied or installed by

Kohler Co. These are subject to the warranties, if any, of their manufacturers.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, including but

not limited to labor costs or transportation charges in connection with the repair or replacement of defective parts.

ANY IMPLIED OR STATUARY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. We make no other express warranty, nor

is any one authorized to make any in our behalf.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

Purchaser must bring the engine to an authorized Kohler service facility.  For the facility nearest you, consult your Yellow Pages or write

FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

LIMITED WARRANTY

SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINES

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.
