MANUFACTURER’S

WARRANTY
For TWO YEARS from the date of retail purchase
within the United States of America, its possessions
and territories, the manufacturer will, at its option,
repair or replace, for the original purchaser, free of
charge, any part or parts found to be defective in
material or workmanship. This warranty covers units
which have been operated and maintained in
accordance with the operating instructions furnished
with the unit, and which have not been subject to
misuse, abuse, commercial use, neglect, accident,
improper maintenance or alteration.
Normal wear parts or components thereof are
subject to separate terms as noted below in the “No
Fault Ninety Day Consumer Warranty” clause.
All normal wear part failures will be covered on this
product for a period of 90 days regardless of cause.
After 90 days, but within the two year period, normal
wear parts failures will be covered ONLY IF caused
by defects in material or workmanship of OTHER
component parts. Normal wear parts are defined as
batteries*, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass
bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow thrower skid
shoes, shave plates and tires.
How to obtain service: Warranty service is
available, with proof of purchase, through your local
authorized service dealer. To locate the dealer in
your area, please check the yellow pages or contact
the Customer Service Department of the
manufacturer, P. O. Box 368022, Cleveland, Ohio
44136-9722. Phone 1-800-800-7310. The return of
a complete unit will not be accepted by the factory
unless prior written permission has been extended
by the service department of the manufacturer.
Transportation charges: Transportation charges
for the movement of any power equipment unit or
attachment are the responsibility of the purchaser.
Units exported out of the United States: The
manufacturer does not extend any warranty for
products sold or exported outside of the United
States of America, its possessions and territories,
except those sold through the manufacturer’s
authorized channels of export distribution.
Other Warranties:
1. The engine or component parts thereof carry
separate warranties from their manufacturers.
Please refer to the applicable manufacturer’s
warranty on these items.
2. *Batteries are covered by a 90-day replacement
warranty.
3. Log splitter pumps, valves and cylinders or
component parts thereof are covered by a one
year warranty.
4. All other warranties, express or implied,
including any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose, are hereby expressly disclaimed in
their entirety.
5. The provisions as set forth in this warranty
provide the sole and exclusive remedy of the
manufacturer’s obligations arising from the
sales of its products. The manufacturer will not
be liable for incidental or consequential loss or
damage.
How state law relates to this warranty: This
limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state. Certain disclaimers are not allowed in
some states and therefore they may not apply to
you under all circumstances.
NOTE: This warranty does not cover routine
maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade
sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such as
brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck
adjustments. Nor does this warranty cover normal

exposure.
