You are responsible for presenting your SORE or engine powered equipment to a Kohler Co. distribution or service center as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question
regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact a Kohler Dealer at 1-800-544-2444 or www.KohlerEngines.com.
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. Kohler Co. warrants to the ultimate
purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is:
Designed,built,andequippedsoastoconformwithallapplicableregulationsadoptedbytheAirResourcesBoardandUSEPA;andFree
from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as
described in the engine manufacturers application for certification.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the
warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by Kohler
Co. at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated
above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the period
of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Kohler Co. at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or
modified parts by the ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
