ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

Warranty service is available only through

Ferris Authorized

Service Dealers. This warranty only covers defects in materials
or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper

use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear
and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.

Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this
product is described in the Operator's Manual. Using the product
in a way not described in the Operator's Manual or using the
product after it has been damaged will not be covered under
this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the
serial number on the product has been removed or the product
has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has
evidence of abuse such as impact damage, or water/chemical
corrosion damage.

Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be
maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided
in the Operator's Manual, and serviced or repaired using genuine
Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack
of maintenance or use of non-original or non-equivalent parts
is not covered by warranty.

Normal Wear and Tear - Like all mechanical devices, the unit
is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty
does not cover replacement or repairs when normal use has
exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Except as noted
in the warranty period, maintenance and wear items such as
filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine
brake pads) are not covered by warranty due to wear
characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in
material or workmanship.

Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this
product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified
in the Operator's Manual. Engine or equipment damage caused
by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or
E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.

Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to
accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing,
freezing or chemical deterioration. Attachments or accessories
that were not originally packaged with the product are also
excluded. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned,
second-hand, or demonstration equipment or engines. This
