authorized channels of export distribution.

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

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of

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

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
