LIMITATIONS

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

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

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.
