The Toro Promise — Limited Five-Year Warranty

The Toro Company and its affiliate, Toro Warranty Company, pursuant to 

an agreement between them, jointly warrants, to the owner, each new piece 
of equipment (featured in the current catalog at date of installation) against
defects in material and workmanship for for a period described below,
provided they are used for irrigation purposes under manufacturer's recom-
mended specifications. Product failures due to acts of God (i.e., lightning,
flooding, etc.) are not covered by this warranty.

Neither Toro nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for failure of products not

manufactured by them even though such products may be sold or used in
conjunction with Toro products.

During such warranty period, we will repair or replace, at our option, any part

found to be defective. Your remedy is limited solely to the replacement or repair 
of defective parts.

Return the defective part to your local Toro distributor, who may be listed in

your telephone directory Yellow Pages under "Irrigation Supplies" or "Sprinkler
Systems," or contact The Toro Warranty Company P.O. Box 489, Riverside,
California, 92502. Phone (800) 664-4740 for the location of your nearest Toro
distributor or outside the U.S., call (951) 688-9221.

This warranty does not apply where equipment is used, or installation is

performed in any manner contrary to Toro’s specifications and instructions, nor
where equipment is altered or modified.

Neither Toro nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect, incidental or

consequential damages in connection with the use of equipment, including but
not limited to: vegetation loss, the cost of substitute equipment or services
required during periods of malfunction or resulting non-use, property damage
or personal injury resulting from installer’s actions, whether negligent or other-
wise.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-

quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

All implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for use,

are limited to the duration of this express warranty.

Some states do not allow limitations of how long an implied warranty lasts,

so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights

which vary from state to state.

The Toro Wireless Rain Sensor models TWRS and TWRFS are covered by

this warranty for a period of five years from the date of installation.
