equipment engines must be designed,
built and equipped, at the time of sale, to
meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small
non road engines. The equipment
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.
STIHL Incorporated must warrant the
emission control system on your small
off-road engine for the period of time
listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance
of your small off-road equipment engine.
Your emission control system includes
parts such as the carburetor and the

hoses, and connectors and other
emission-related assemblies.
