KOHLER CO.
FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
LIMITED WARRANTY OFF-ROAD DIESEL ENGINES
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Kohler Co. are pleased to explain the Federal and California
Emission Control System Warranty on your 2008 and later off-road compression ignition (diesel) engine. Kohler Co. warrants that the engine is designed, built
and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and CARB off-road diesel regulations. The warranty period shall begin on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an
ultimate purchaser. The engine must be free of material or workmanship defects for the time period detailed in the manufacturer’s warranty coverage section of this
document below. Kohler Co. must warrant the emission control system on the engine for the period of time listed in the section below, provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective,
provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE
Your off-road, diesel engine emission control system is covered under warranty for a period of five (5) years or 3,000 hours, whichever occurs first, beginning on the
date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser for all constant speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37 and rated speed less than 3,000
rpm, all variable speed engines with maximum power 19≤kW<37, and all variable or constant speed engines with maximum power greater than 37 kW. Your off-road,
diesel engine emission control system on variable or constant-speed engines with maximum power less than 19 kW, and for constant speed engines with maximum
power 19≤kW<37 and rated speed equal to or greater than 3,000 rpm is covered under warranty for a period of two (2) years or 1,500 hours, whichever occurs first.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) You are responsible for the performance of all required maintenance including the use of approved fluids as detailed in your operators/ owners manual. It is
not necessary for replacement parts to be the same brand or by the same manufacturer as the original part sold with the engine. Such use shall not reduce
the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
(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 modifications.
(c) You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The CARB suggests that you present your heavy-duty off-road engine to a Kohler dealer as soon as
a problem exists. To locate the nearest Kohler authorized service center, visit our web site, www.kohlerengines.com, and click on DEALER LOCATOR, or
