replacement under this warranty must be paid by the purchaser. 
 
This warranty does not apply to engines and their components, and batteries, as these items are warranted separately.

consequential damages, under any and all warranties are excluded. 
 
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or 
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

WARNING: THE USE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER THAN GENUINE SNAPPER PARTS MAY IMPAIR THE
