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 modications.
(c) For warranty repairs, the engine must be presented to a Kohler Co. service center as soon as a problem exists. Call 1-800-544-2444
or access our web site at: www.KohlerEngines.com, for the names of the nearest service centers. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Kohler Co. at 1-920-457-4441 and ask for an
engine service representative.
COVERAGE
Kohler Co. warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine will be designed, built and equipped, at
the time of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. Kohler Co. also warrants to the initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser, that
the engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a
period of two years.
Engines produced in 2006 or later are warranted for two years in California. For 1997 and later model years, EPA requires manufacturers
to warrant engines for two years in all other states. These warranty periods will begin on the date the engine is purchased by the initial
purchaser. If any emission related part on the engine is defective, the part will be replaced by Kohler Co. at no cost to the owner. Kohler
Co. is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Kohler Co. shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized Kohler Co. engine dealer or warranty station. Warranty repair work done at
an authorized dealer or warranty station shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a warranted part is defective.

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.
