Snowthrowers

A Two-Year Full Warranty

(Limited Warranty for Commercial Use)

Conditions and Products Covered

Lawn-Boy and its affiliate, Lawn-Boy Warranty Company, pur-
suant to an agreement between them, jointly promise to repair any
Lawn-Boy snowthrower used for normal residential purposes* if
defective in materials or workmanship for a period of two years
from the date of purchase.

This warranty covers the cost of parts and labor, but you must pay
transportation costs. Transportation within a fifteen mile radius of
the servicing dealer is covered for two-stage snowthrowers only.

* Normal residential purposes means use of the product on the

same lot as your home. Use at more than one location is
considered commercial use, and the commercial use warranty
would apply.

Limited Warranty for Commercial Use

Lawn-Boy Products used for commercial, institutional, or rental
use are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for
45 days from the date of purchase.

Owner Responsibilities

You must maintain your Lawn-Boy Product by following the
maintenance procedures described in the operator’s manual.
Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by
you, is at your expense.

Items and Conditions Not Covered

There is no other express warranty except for special emission
system coverage on some products. This express warranty does
not cover:

Cost of regular maintenance service or parts, such as filters,
fuel, lubricants, and tune-up parts

Any product or part which has been altered or misused or
required replacement or repair due to normal wear, accidents
or lack of proper maintenance

Repairs necessary due to improper fuel, contaminants in the
fuel system, or failure to properly prepare the fuel system prior
to any period of non-use over three months

All repairs covered by this warranty must be performed by an
Authorized Lawn-Boy Service Dealer using Lawn-Boy approved
replacement parts.

General Conditions

Repair by an Authorized Lawn-Boy Service Dealer is your sole
remedy under this warranty.

Neither Lawn-Boy nor Lawn-Boy Warranty Company is liable for
indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection with
the use of the Lawn-Boy Products covered by this warranty,
including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or
service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use
pending completion of repairs under this 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.

Countries Other than the United States or Canada

Customers who have purchased Lawn-Boy products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Lawn-Boy
Distributor (Dealer) to obtain guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your
Distributor’s service or have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Lawn-Boy importer. If all other remedies fail, you may
contact us at Lawn-Boy Warranty Company.
