The following applies to both the Toro Total Coverage Guarantee & the Toro GTS Starting Guarantee:
Items and Conditions Not Covered
There is no other express warranty except for special emission system coverage on some products. This express warranty does not cover the following:
Cost of regular maintenance service or parts, such as filters, fuel, lubricants, oil changes, spark plugs, air filters, blade sharpening or worn mower blades, cable/linkage adjust-
ments, or brake and clutch adjustments
Any product or part which has been altered or misused and requires replacement or repair due to accidents or lack of proper maintenance
Repairs necessary due to improper battery care, failure to use fresh fuel (less than one month old), or failure to properly prepare the unit prior to any period of non-use over one
month
Pickup and delivery charges
Operational misuse, neglect, or accidents
Repairs or attempted repairs by anyone other than an Authorized Toro Service Dealer
Repairs or adjustments to correct starting difficulties due to the following:
Failure to follow proper maintenance procedures
Rotary mower blade striking an object
Contaminants in the fuel system
Improper fuel (consult your Operator’s Manual if in doubt)
Failure to drain the fuel system prior to any period of non-use over one month
Special operational conditions where starting may require more than two pulls:
First time starts after extended period of non-use over one month or seasonal storage
Cool temperature starts such as those found in early spring and late autumn
Improper starting procedures
If you are having difficulty starting your unit, please check the Operator’s Manual to ensure that you are using the correct starting procedures. This can save an unnecessary visit to a
Service Dealer. Owner Responsibilities
You must maintain your Toro Product by following the maintenance procedures described in the Operator’s Manual. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by
you, is at your expense. Instructions for Obtaining Warranty Service
If you think that your Toro Product contains a defect in materials or workmanship, or if a normal, able-bodied adult can no longer start your product’s engine in one or two pulls, follow
this procedure:
1. Contact any Authorized Toro Service Dealer to arrange service at their dealership. To locate a dealer convenient to you, refer to the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory (look
under “Lawn Mowers”) or access our web site at www.Toro.com. You may also call the numbers listed in item #3 to use the 24-hour Toro Dealer locator system.
2. Bring the product and your proof of purchase (sales receipt) to the Service Dealer. The dealer will diagnose the problem and determine if it is covered under warranty.
3. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the Service Dealer’s analysis or with the assistance provided, contact us at: Customer Care Department, Consumer Division, Toro War-
ranty Company, 8111 LyndaleAvenue South, Bloomington, MN 55420-1196; or call us toll free at 866-214-9807 (U.S. customers) or 866-214-9808 (Canadian customers).
General Conditions
All repairs covered by these warranties must be performed by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement parts.
Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages in connection with the use of the Toro Products
covered by these warranties, including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending
completion of repairs under these warranties. Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to
you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products outside the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer) to obtain guarantee policies for your country, prov-
ince, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail,
you may contact us at Toro Warranty Company.
*Residential use means use of the product on the same lot as your home. Use at more than one location, or institutional or rental use, is considered commercial use and the commercial use
warranty would apply.
**Power Train coverage includes engine and transmission only. The transmission is defined as the gear case, internal components, and drive axles.
