11.1 Federal emission control warranty statement
Your warranty rights and obligations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Hilti are
pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty applicable to your small non-road engine. In U.S.
and Canada, small non-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the stringent federal
antismog standards. The equipment 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 from the date of sale to the ultimate
purchaser. Hilti must warrant the emission control system on your small non-road engine for the periods of
time listed above, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your unit. Your
emission control system includes parts such as the carburetor and the ignition system. Where a warrantable
condition exists, Hilti will repair at no cost to you. Expenses covered under warranty include diagnosis, parts
and labor.
Manufacturer’s warranty coverage
All 2001 and later small non-road engines are warranted to meet the applicable EPA and CARB requirements
for two years. If any emission related part on your engine (as listed above) is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Hilti.
Owner’s warranty responsibilities
As a small non-road engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance as
defined by Hilti in the owner’s manual. Hilti recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your small non-road engine, but Hilti cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure
to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. 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. As the small non-road equipment owner, you should be
aware, however, that Hilti may deny you warranty coverage if your small non-road engine or a part of it has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, unapproved modifications or the use of parts not made
or approved by the original equipment manufacturer. You are responsible for presenting your small non-road
engine to Hilti as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Coverage
Hilti warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your small non-road equipment
engine will be designed, built equipped, at the time of sale, to meet all applicable regulations. Hilti also
warrants to the initial purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the emission-related warranted parts
are free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable
regulations for a period of two years. These warranty periods will begin on the date small non-road equipment
engine is purchased by the initial purchaser. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective during
this warranty period, the part will be replaced by Hilti at no cost to the owner. Hilti shall remedy warranty
defects at authorized Hilti service and repair centers. Any authorized work done at an authorized Hilti service
and repair center shall be free of charge to the owner if it is determined that a 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 free of charge to the owner if the part is still under
warranty. Hilti is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part
still under warranty. The California Air Resources Board’s Emission Warranty Part List specifically defines
the emission related, warranted parts. These warranted parts are: the carburetor assembly, coil assembly,
rotor, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, breather manifold and the gaskets.
Maintenance requirements
The owner is responsible for performing the required maintenance as defined by Hilti in the owner’s manual.
Limitations
The Emission Control Systems Warranty shall not cover any of the following: a) repair or replacement
required because of misuse, neglect or lack of required maintenance, b) repairs improperly performed or
replacements not conforming to Hilti specifications that adversely affect performance and/or durability, and
alterations or modifications not recommended or approved in writing by Hilti, and c) replacement of parts
and other services and adjustments necessary for required maintenance at and after this first scheduled
replacement point. Except as set forth above, the warranty terms set forth in section 12 below, apply.
11.2 Manufacturer’s warranty
Hilti warrants that it will repair or replace any part containing a defect in material and workmanship for 20
years from the original sale date. This warranty is valid so long as the tool is operated and handled correctly,
cleaned and serviced properly and in accordance with the Hilti Operating Instructions, and the technical
