ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty
repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply if equip-
ment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is
void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. During the warranty
period, the Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal use and serv-
ice. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:
• Normal Wear: Outdoor Power Equipment and engines, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This warranty
does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.
• Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation or
alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment,
to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as adjustments, fuel system cleaning
and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon, lime, etc.).
• Other Exclusions: This warranty excludes wear items such as oil gauges, o-rings, filters, fuses, spark plugs, etc., or damage or malfunctions resulting
from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts are excluded from the
product warranty. This warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control. Also excluded
is used, reconditioned, and demonstration equipment; equipment used for prime power in place of utility power and equipment used in life support
applications.
