LIMITED WARRANTY - TRUCK LOADERS

Any part of the Truck Loader manufactured by Scag Power Equipment and found, in the reasonable judgment of Scag Power 
Equipment, 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 Power Equipment 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 impellers, wear liners, nose cones, hoses, bearings and tires are not included in this warranty.
•  Frame, blower housing and structural components are warranted for two (2) year (parts and labor) for commercial and    
non-commercial use.
•  Engines and electric starters are covered by the engine manufacturer’s warranty period. Therefore, there are no warranties made, 
expressed or implied, for engines by Scag Power Equipment.
•  Batteries are covered for ninety (90) days.
•  Any Scag product used for rental purposes is covered by a 90 day warranty. 

The Scag Truck Loader, including any defective part must be returned to an Authorized Scag Power Equipment Service Dealer within 
the warranty period. The expense of delivering the truck loader 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 Power Equipment’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 product. “Non-Commercial” 
use is defined as a single property owner, where the single property is the residence of the owner of the Scag product. If the truck 
loader is used on more than the owners single property, it is deemed commercial use and the “non-commercial” warranty does not 
apply. Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to deny and / or void the non-commercial warranty if it believes it to be in commercial 
use.

This warranty does not cover any product 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. 

The warranty does not apply to 

any damage to any truck loader that is the result of improper maintenance, or to any truck loader 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 truck loader that has been 
altered or modified, changing performance or durability. In addition, the warranty does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal 
wear, to items subject to abrasion wear, or by the use of parts or accessories which, in the reasonable judgment of Scag Power 
Equipment, are either incompatible with the Scag Truck Loader or adversely affect its operation, performance or durability.

Scag Power Equipment reserves the right to change or improve the design of any product without assuming any obligation 
to modify any product previously manufactured.

 All other implied warranties for this truck loader are limited in duration to the two 

(2) year warranty for commercial and  non-commercial use or ninety (90) days 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 warranty period. Scag’s obligation under this warranty is strictly and exclusively limited to the repair or replacement of 
defective parts and Scag Power Equipment 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 Power Equipment assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages including, but not limited to, expense 
for gasoline, expense of delivering the truck loader to an Authorized Scag Power Equipment 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 truck loader, loss of time or inconvenience. 
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation 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.
