ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty

repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example,

warranty service would not apply to the product if damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling,

warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product

has been altered or modified.
This warranty covers product related defective material and/or workmanship only. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur be-

tween the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of product failure that the warranty does not cover.

•

Normal Wear:

Small Engine

Powered Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. Warranty does not

cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of the product or part.

•

Installation:

This warranty does not apply to product that has been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, alteration or modification. Nor

installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance.

•

Improper Maintenance:

The life of this product depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Recommended

maintenance and adjustment intervals are stated in the Operator’s Manual. Often product, such as tillers, edgers, rotary mowers, are used in dusty

or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, or other abrasive material entering

the product because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty. The warranty will not cover repairs due to problems caused by replace-

ment parts that are not original manufactured part(s).

•

Incorrect and/or insufficient fuel or lubrication:

This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of stale fuel, or altered gasolines. Dam-

age to engine or engine components ie, combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, burned starter motor windings caused by use of

alternate fuels such as liquified petroleum, natural gas, are not covered unless engine is certified for this operation. Parts which are scored or bro-

ken because product was operated with insufficient, contaminated or incorrect grade of lubricating oil as well as product components damaged due

to lack of lubrication are not covered.

•

Operational Misuse:

Proper operation of the product is stated in the Operator’s Manual. Product damaged by overspeeding, overheating, or opera-

tion in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Product broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose or unbalanced

blades, impellers, overspeeding, or bent crankshaft due to striking of solid object. Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, or im-

proper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration, as well as operating in excess of recommended capacities as outlined in the Operator’s

Manual are not covered.

•

Routine tune-up, wear items or adjustments:

This warranty excludes wear items such as oil, belts, blades, o-rings, filters, etc.
