Any part of the Scag commercial mower manufactured by Scag Power Equipment and found, in the reasonable judgment
of Scag, to be defective in materials or workmanship, will be repaired or replaced by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer
without charge for parts and labor during the periods specified below. This warranty is limited to the original purchaser
and is not transferable. Proof of purchase will be required by the dealer to substantiate any warranty claims. All warranty
work must be performed by an Authorized Scag Service Dealer.

This warranty is limited to the following specified periods from the date of the original retail purchase for defects in
materials or workmanship:

* Wear items including drive belts, blades, hydraulic hoses and tires are warranted for ninety (90) days.
* Batteries are covered for ninety (90) days.
* Frame and structural components including oil reservoir and oil coolers are warranted for 2 years (Parts and
    labor).
* Cutter decks are warranted against cracking for a period of three (3) years.  (Parts and labor 1st and 2nd year;

   Equipment.  We reserve the right to request components for evaluation.  This warranty does not cover any
   mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, accident, or that has been operated in any way
   contrary to the operating instructions as specified in the Operator’s Manual.
* Engines and electric starters are covered by the engine manufacturer’s warranty period.
* Major drive system components are warranted for two (2) years by Scag Power Equipment. (Parts and labor)
   (Two year warranty exclude fittings, hoses, drive belts).  The repair or replacement of the hydraulic pump or
   hydraulic motor will be at the option of Scag Power Equipment.  This warranty does not cover any mower that
   has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident, or that has been operated in any way contrary to
   the operating instructions as specified in the Operator’s Manual.
* Electric clutches have a Limited Warranty for 2 year (Parts and labor).
* Cutter Spindle Assemblies have a Limited Warranty for three years (Parts and labor 1st and 2nd year;
   Parts only 3rd year).
* Any Scag product used for rental purposes is covered by a 90 day warranty.

The Scag mower, including any defective part must be returned to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer within the warranty
period. The expense of delivering the mower to the dealer for warranty work and the expense of returning it to the owner
after repair will be paid for by the owner. Scag’s responsibility is limited to making the required repairs and no claim of
breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any Scag mower.

This warranty does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, accident, or that has been
operated in any way contrary to the operating instructions as specified in the Operator’s Manual. 
The warranty does not
apply to any damage to the mower that is the result of improper maintenance, or to any mower or parts that have not been
assembled or installed as specified in the Operator’s Manual and Assembly Manual. The warranty does not cover any
mower that has been altered or modified, changing performance or durability. In addition, the warranty does not extend to
repairs made necessary by normal wear, or by the use of parts or accessories which, in the reasonable judgment of Scag,
are either incompatible with the Scag mower or adversely affect its operation, performance or durability.

Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to change or improve the design of any mower without assuming any obliga-
tion to modify any mower previously manufactured.
 All other implied warranties are limited in duration to the two (2) year
warranty period or ninety (90) days for mowers used for rental purpose. Accordingly, any such implied warranties
including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration
of the appropriate two year or ninety day warranty period. Scag’s obligation under this warranty is strictly and exclusively
limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and Scag does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for them
any other obligation. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply to you.

Scag assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages including, but not limited to, expense for
gasoline, expense of delivering the mower to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer and expense of returning it to the owner,
mechanic’s travel time, telephone or telegram charges, rental of a like product during the time warranty repairs are being
performed, travel, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the mower, loss of time or inconve-
nience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-
tion or exclusion may not apply to you.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
