MURRAY, INC.
Two Year Limited Warranty
Murray, Inc. warrants to the original purchaser that this unit shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal
use and service for a period of Two (2) Years from the date of purchase; however, this warranty does not cover engines,
accessories (such as snow blowers, snow blades, grass baggers and plows), transmissions, batteries and Normal Wear Parts
(except as noted below) or transaxles as the companies that manufacture these items furnish their own warranties and provide
service through their authorized field service facilities. For additional information, see the warranties covering these particular
parts. If you are uncertain whether your unit contains or is equipped with one or more of these parts, consult your dealer prior
to purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions noted in this Limited Warranty, we shall, at our option, repair or replace at no
cost to the original purchaser any part covered by this Limited Warranty during the applicable warranty period.
In the event the battery proves defective within ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, we will replace it without charge. If
the battery proves defective after (90) days but within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of purchase, we will replace
it for a charge of one half (1/2) of the retail price of the battery in effect at the time of return.
Normal Wear Parts are defined as belts, blades, blade adapters, pneumatic tires, headlights and seat covers. These parts are
warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship as delivered with the product. Any claim for repair or replacement
of Normal Wear Parts must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase. No claims involving damage caused from
material use, abuse or misuse will be honored.
This Murray, Inc. Two (2) Year Limited Warranty is your exclusive remedy; however, this warranty is void or does not apply
to any unit that has been tampered with, altered, misused, abused or used for rental or other commercial and/or professional
(non-homeowner) uses. Your warranty does not cover minor mechanical adjustments which are not due to any defect in material
or workmanship. For assistance in making such adjustments, consult your Instruction Book.
To make a claim under this Murray, Inc. Two (2) Year Limited Warranty, return the unit (or if authorized in advance, the defective
part) along with your proof of purchase to an Authorized Service Center near you. To locate the nearest Authorized Service
Center, call the Central Parts Distributor for your area shown in the list provided with your unit or check the Yellow Page listings
in your local telephone directory. If you return the entire unit, we will repair the unit. If we authorize the return of the defective
part only, we will either replace or repair the part. In the case of a defect in a transmission or differential (as distinguished from
a transaxle), the entire transmission or differential must be returned since they do not include user serviceable parts.
This Murray, Inc. Two (2) Year Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.
This Limited Warranty is given in lieu of all other expressed and implied warranties including the
implied warranty of merchantability and warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. If you need additional information
on this written warranty or assistance in obtaining service, write or call: MURRAY, INC., Outdoor Power Equipment, Customer
Service Department, P.O. Box 268, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027. (1-800-251-8007)
