YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board
and Kohler Co. are pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty
on your 2012 engine. In
California, new heavy-duty off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Kohler Co.

maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the fuel-injection system and the air induction system. Also included may be hoses,
connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Kohler Co. will repair your heavy-duty off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Your off-road, diesel engine emission control system is covered under warranty for a period of five (5) years or 3,000 hours, whichever occurs first,
beginning on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser for all constant speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37
and rated speed less than 3,000 rpm, all variable speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37, and all variable or constant speed engines with

required maintenance listed in your Kohler Co.

. Kohler Co. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty off-road engine, but Kohler Co.
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all recommended scheduled maintenance.
As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that Kohler Co. may deny you warranty coverage if your heavy-duty off-
road engine or emission control related component has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with California’s emissions requirements.

Kohler Co. dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.
