Owner’s Responsibilities

If your product requires warranty service it must be returned 
to an authorized Exmark service dealer within the warranty 
period. This warranty extends only to equipment operated 
under normal conditions. You must read the operator’s 
manual. You must also properly service and maintain your 
Exmark product as described in the operator’s manual. Such 
routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by 
you, is at your expense.

General Conditions

The sole liability of Exmark and Exmark Warranty Company 
with respect to this warranty shall be repair or replacement of 
defective components as set forth herein. 

Neither Exmark 

nor Exmark Warranty Company shall be liable for any 
incidental or consequential loss or damage.

Such damages include but are not limited to:
• Expenses related to gasoline, oil or lubricants.
• Travel time, overtime, after hours time or other 

extraordinary repair charges or charges relating to repairs or 
replacements outside of normal business hours at the place 
of business of the authorized Exmark Service Dealer. 

• Rental of like or similar replacement equipment during the 

period of any warranty, repair or replacement work.

• Any telephone or telegram charges or travel charges.

covered by the terms of this warranty.

• Any claims for lost revenue, lost profit or additional cost as 

a result of a claim of breach of warranty.

All implied warranties of merchantability (that the 
product is fit for ordinary use) and fitness for use (that the 
product is fit for a particular purpose) are limited to the 
duration of the express 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.
