The California Air Resources Board

In California, new equipment that uses

the State's stringent anti-smog
standards. STIHL Incorporated must
warrant the emissions control system on
your small off-road engine for the
periods of time listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or
improper maintenance of your small off-
road engine or equipment leading to the
failure of the emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may
include parts such as the carburetor or
fuel-injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks,
fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors),
fuel caps valves canisters, filters,
