(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 website 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 1995 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.

Listed below are the parts covered by the Federal and California Emission Control Systems Warranty. Some parts listed below may require

scheduled maintenance and are warranted up to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. The warranted parts are:

• Carburetor assembly • Ignition module(s) with high tension lead

• Throttle body (EFI Systems) • Spark advance module (if equipped)

• Catalytic muffler (if equipped) • Oxygen, speed, throttle position, and temperature sensors (if equipped)

• Fuel metering valve (if equipped) • Electronic control unit (if equipped)

• Crankcase breather • Fuel injectors (EFI Systems)

• Fuel pressure regulator (EFI Systems) • Air filter, fuel filter, and spark plugs (only to first scheduled replacement point)

LIMITATIONS

This Emission Control Systems Warranty shall not cover any of the following:

(a) repair or replacement required because of misuse or neglect, improper maintenance, repairs improperly performed or replacements not

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

point,

(d) diagnosis and inspection fees that do not result in eligible warranty service being performed, and

(e) any add-on or modified part, or malfunction of authorized parts due to the use of add-on or modified parts.

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.
