There is no other express warranty except for special emission

General Conditions

All repairs covered by this warranty must be performed by an

Authorized Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement

parts. Repair by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer is your sole

remedy under this warranty.

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 this

warranty, including any cost or expense of providing substi-

tute equipment or service during reasonable periods of

malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs under

this warranty.
Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or

consequential damages, or limitations on how long an

implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and

limitations 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 exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer)

to obtain guarantee policies for your country, province, 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.

*Normal residential purposes means use of the product on the same lot as your home. Use at more than one location is considered

commercial use, and the commercial use warranty would apply.
