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
ploughs), 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

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
