KOHLER CO.
FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
LIMITED WARRANTY
SMALL OFF-ROAD AND CLASS 1 LSI 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 off-road equipment engine. In California beginning in 2006,
"emissions" means both exhaust and evaporative emissions. For California, small off-road engines produced in 2006 and later, and
Class 1 LSI (Large Spark Ignited engines at or below 1.0 liter) produced in 2002 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
Small off-road engines produced in 2006 or later, and Class 1 LSI engines produced in 2002 and 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.

express warranty, nor is any one authorized to make any on our behalf.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
