FRONTIER EQUIPMENT LIMITED WARRANTY POLICY

Effective June 1, 2006

What is covered:

Briggs & Stratton Power Products warrants to the original purchaser that each new product or service replacement part is free from defects in material
and workmanship, under normal residential use and service, for the periods listed. The warranty period begins at the purchase date and is subject to the
conditions provided in this policy. Subject to the terms noted in this Limited Warranty Policy Briggs & Stratton will, at its option, repair or replace at no
cost to the original purchaser any part covered by this Limited Warranty Policy during the applicable warranty period. Electrical components and normal
wear components are warranted to be free of material and workmanship defects at the time of sale. This warranty covers the cost of the part only.
However, if the part was installed by an authorized John Deere/Frontier service center, the cost of the part as well as the labor to install will be covered.

What is not covered:

This warranty does not cover normal wear items. Normal wear items are defined as drive belts, drive discs, shear pins, tires, and headlights. These parts
are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship as delivered with the product, or as sold as over the counter service replacement
parts. Any claim for repair or replacement of normal wear parts must be made within 30 days of the date of purchase. No claims involving damage from
material use, abuse, or misuse will be honored. This warranty does not cover third party produced accessories or components (such as electric starters,
engines, etc.) that are warranted through the original manufacturer except as noted in the chart below. These third party items are warranted and serviced
through the manufacturer’s own authorized field service outlets. Consult the manufacturer’s warranty documentation for coverage related to these
particular items. If you are uncertain whether your unit contains one or more of these parts, consult your dealer prior to purchase.

This warranty does not cover transportation of the unit to or from a repair center. It does not cover the cost of non-Briggs service parts or damages
resulting from their use. This warranty does not apply to any unit that has been tampered with, altered, misused, abused, or used for rental or
commercial/professional uses. The duration for rental or commercial/professional use is noted below. The warranty does not cover minor mechanical
adjustments which are not due to any defect in material or workmanship. For assistance in making adjustments, refer to the operator’s manual.

Terms & Conditions

To make a claim under this warranty, return the unit along with your proof of purchase to an authorized John Deere/Frontier dealer (Briggs & Stratton
authorized). If you return the entire unit, the service center will repair the unit. Contingent on receipt of prior authorization, you may return the defective
part only for repair or replacement of the defective part. To locate the nearest John Deere/Frontier dealer, check your local yellow page listings or go to
www.johndeere.com.

No other warranty or implied warranty by the manufacturer exists except where required by law.

Briggs & Stratton’s liability arising out of warranties, representations, instructions, or defects from any cause shall be limited exclusively to repair or
replacing parts under the conditions in this warranty, and in no event will Briggs & Stratton be liable for incidental or consequential damages. Some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific rights that vary from state to state.
