to materials or workmanship. This Warranty is subject to the following limitations and exclusions.
1.  This warranty does not apply to the engine, transaxle/transmission components, battery (except as noted below) or com-

ponents parts thereof.  Please refer to the applicable manufacturer's warranty on these items.

2.  Transportation charges for the movement of any power equipment unit or attachment are the responsibility of the pur-

 chaser.  Transportation charges for any parts submitted for replacement under this warranty must be paid by the purchaser 

unless such return is requested by the manufacturer.

3.  Battery Warranty:  On products equipped with a Battery, we will replace, without charge to you, any battery which we find

Battery, charging you 1/12 of the price of a new Battery for each full month from the date of the original sale. Battery must 

be maintained in accordance with the instructions furnished.

4.  The Warranty period for any products used for rental or commercial purposes is limited to 90 days from the date of original 

purchase.

5.  This Warranty applies only to products which have been properly assembled, adjusted, operated, and main tained in ac cor -

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND ANY IMPLIED WAR RAN -

TIES ARE LIMITED TO THE SAME TIME PERIODS STATED HEREIN FOR OUR EXPRESSED WARRANTIES. Some areas 

do not allow the limitation of consequential damages or limitations of how long an implied Warranty may last, so the above limi-

tations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which 

vary from locale to locale.
This is a limited Warranty within the meaning of that term as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975.
