ship for a period of two (2) years commencing on the date of original 
purchase and will, at its option, repair or replace, free of charge, any 
part found to be defective in materials or workmanship. This limited war-
ranty shall only apply if this product has been operated and maintained 
in accordance with the Operator’s Manual furnished with the product, 
and has not been subject to misuse, abuse, commercial use, neglect, 
accident, improper maintenance, alteration, vandalism, theft, fire, water, 
or damage because of other peril or natural disaster. Damage resulting

will void your warranty as to any resulting damage.
Normal wear parts are warranted to be free from defects in material and 
workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. 
Normal wear parts include, but are not limited to items such as: batter-
ies, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats, 
snow thrower skid shoes, shave plates, auger spiral rubber and tires.

This limited warranty does

 not 

provide coverage in the following cases:

a.  The engine or component parts thereof. These items may carry a 

separate manufacturer’s warranty. Refer to applicable manufacturer’s 
warranty for terms and conditions.

b.  Log splitter pumps, valves, and cylinders have a separate one year 

warranty.

c.  Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade 

sharpening, tune-ups, brake adjustments, clutch adjustments, deck 
adjustments, and normal deterioration of the exterior finish due to 
use or exposure.

d.  Service completed by someone other than an authorized service 

dealer.

e.  MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold or  exported 

outside of the United States, its possessions and territories, except 
those sold through MTD’s authorized channels of export distribution.

f.  Replacement parts that are not genuine MTD parts.
g.  Transportation charges and service calls.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of mer-
chantability of fitness for a particular purpose, applies after the 
applicable period of express written warranty above as to the 
parts as identified. No other express warranty, whether written or 
oral, except as mentioned above, given by any person or entity, 
including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any product, shall 
bind MTD. During the period of the warranty, the exclusive remedy 
is repair or replacement of the product as set forth above.
The provisions as set forth in this warranty provide the sole and 
exclusive remedy arising from the sale. MTD shall not be liable 
for incidental or consequential loss or damage including, without 
limitation, expenses incurred for substitute or replacement lawn 
care services or for rental expenses to temporarily replace a 
warranted product.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty 
lasts, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the amount of the 
purchase price of the product sold. 

Alteration of safety features of 

the product shall void this warranty.

 You assume the risk and liability 

for loss, damage, or injury to you and your property and/or to others and 
their property arising out of the misuse or inability to use the product.
This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than the original 
purchaser or to the person for whom it was purchased as a gift.

HOW STATE LAW RELATES TO THIS WARRANTY: 

 This limited 

warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other 
rights which vary from state to state.

IMPORTANT:

warranty coverage.
