The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for the period of time
stated in the table above. “Consumer use" means personal residential household use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use" means all other
uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once equipment has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter

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 equipment 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 service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:

Normal Wear:

Outdoor Power Equipment, 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 quick couplers, oil gauges, belts, o-rings, filters, pump packing, etc., pumps that

have been run without water supplied or damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing
or freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts such as guns, hoses, wands and nozzles 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.
