Diagnosis
You, as the owner, shall not be charged
for diagnostic labor which leads to the
determination that a warranted
emissions part is defective. However, if
you claim warranty for an emissions
component and the machine is tested as
non-defective, STIHL Incorporated will
charge you for the cost of the emission
test. Mechanical diagnostic work will be
performed at an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. Emission test may be
performed either at STIHL Incorporated
or at any independent test laboratory.
Warranty Work
STIHL Incorporated shall remedy
warranty defects at any authorized
STIHL servicing dealer or warranty
station. Any such work shall be free of
charge to the owner if it is determined
that an emissions warranted part is
defective.
Any manufacturer-approved or
equivalent replacement part may be
used for any warranty maintenance or
repairs on emission-related parts and
must be provided without charge to the
owner. STIHL Incorporated is liable for

still under warranty.
