Thank you

for purchasing Ferris commercial mowing equipment. Please take a few minutes to read this limited warranty information. It contains all

the information you will need to have your Ferris mower repaired in the unlikely event that a breakdown covered by this limited warranty should occur.

Owner's Responsibilities

- As a condition to our obligations under this limited warranty, you shall have read the operator's manual and you shall have

completed and submitted to Ferris, within 20 days from the date of purchase, the Ferris Product Registration. You must properly service and maintain
your Ferris product as described in the operator's manual. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is at your expense.
The Ferris equipment, including any defective part covered by this limited warranty, must be returned to an authorized Ferris dealer within the warranty
period for warranty service. This limited warranty extends only to equipment operated under normal conditions and in accordance with Ferris' instruc-
tions.

Warranty Start Date

- The limited warranty coverage begins on the day you buy your new Ferris commercial mowing equipment. An authorized Ferris

dealer will assist you in filling out a Ferris Product Registration with specific information for the model you purchase and your personal information,
which must be returned to Ferris.

Limited Warranty

- The limited warranty, set forth below, is a written guarantee by Ferris, during the warranty period, to repair or replace parts which

have a substantial defect in materials or workmanship. The warranty is "limited" because it is for a specified period of time, applies to the original pur-
chaser only, and is subject to other restrictions.

FERRIS LIMITED WARRANTY

Ferris Industries (Ferris) warrants, in accordance with the provisions below, to the original purchaser only, for the periods described below that the
commercial mower shall be free from substantial defects in material or workmanship under normal use and service. If you wish to file a claim under
this limited warranty, you must provide prompt notice of your claim to an authorized Ferris dealer during the warranty period. Ferris' obligation under
this limited warranty is, at Ferris' option, to repair or replace any part or parts of the mower, which, in the judgment of Ferris, are found to be defective
and covered by this limited warranty. An authorized Ferris dealer will repair or replace the defective part or parts, at the dealer's place of business, at
no charge for the labor or parts. This limited warranty applies only to mowers sold in the United States and Canada and is subject to the following limi-
tations.

General Conditions

to make changes or additions to products sold previously. Any oral or written description of Ferris products is for the sole purpose of identifying the
products and shall not be construed as an express warranty. No warranty claim shall give rise to a right for the purchaser to cancel or rescind any
sale. No person is authorized to make any warranty or assume for Ferris any liability not strictly in accordance with this limited warranty. Any assis-
tance Ferris provides to or procures for the purchaser outside the terms, limitations or exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute a waiver of
the terms, limitations or exclusions of this limited warranty, nor will such assistance extend or revive the limited warranty. Ferris will not reimburse the
purchaser for any expenses incurred by the purchaser in repairing, correcting or replacing any defective products except for those incurred with Ferris'
prior written permission and in accordance with this limited warranty.

UCT OR PART SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MONIES PAID BY THE PURCHASER FOR THAT DEFECTIVE PRODUCT
OR PART. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND FERRIS' OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WAR-
RANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED

cette convention et tous les documents s'y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.
