The Toro Total Coverage Guarantee

A Two-Year Full Warranty

(Limited Warranty for Commercial Use)

Conditions and Products Covered

The Toro Company and its affiliate, Toro Warranty Company,
pursuant to an agreement between them, jointly promise to repair
any Toro Product used for normal residential purposes* if defective
in materials or workmanship for a period of two years from the date
of purchase.

This warranty includes the cost of parts and labor, but you must
pay transportation costs. Transportation within a fifteen mile radius
of the servicing dealer is covered under this warranty for two-stage
snowthrowers only.

This warranty applies to all gasoline powered snow products.

* Normal residential purposes means use of the product on the

same lot as your home. Use at more than one location is
considered commercial use, and the commercial use warranty
would apply.

Limited Warranty for Commercial Use

Toro Consumer Products used for commercial, institutional, or
rental use are warranted against defects in materials or workman-
ship for 45 days from the date of purchase.

Instructions for Obtaining Warranty Service

If you think that your Toro Product contains a defect in materials or
workmanship, follow this procedure:

1Contact any Toro Authorized or Master Service Dealer to

arrange service at their dealership. To locate a dealer
convenient to you, refer to the Yellow Pages of your telephone
directory (look under “Lawn Mowers”) or access our website at
www.Toro.com. U.S. Customers may also call 800-421-9684
to use our 24-hour Toro dealer locator system.

2Bring the product and your proof of purchase (sales receipt) to

the Service Dealer.

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the Service Dealer’s
analysis or with the assistance provided, contact us at:

Customer Care Department, Consumer Division

Owner Responsibilities

You must maintain your Toro Product by following the maintenance
procedures described in the operator’s manual. Such routine
maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is at your
expense.

Items and Conditions Not Covered

There is no other express warranty except for special emission
system coverage on some products and the Toro Starting
Guarantee on GTS engines. This express warranty does not
cover:

Cost of regular maintenance service or parts, such as filters,
fuel, lubricants, tune-up parts, blade sharpening, brake and
clutch adjustments

Any product or part which has been altered or misused or
required replacement or repair due to normal wear, accidents,
or lack of proper maintenance

Repairs necessary due to improper fuel, contaminants in the
fuel system, or failure to properly prepare the fuel system prior
to any period of non-use over three months

All repairs covered by this warranty must be performed by an
Authorized Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement
parts.

General Conditions

Repair by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer is your sole remedy
under this warranty.

Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable
for indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection
with the use of the Toro Products covered by this warranty,
including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or
service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use
pending completion of repairs under this warranty.

Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above exclusions and limitations 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.

Countries Other than the United States or Canada

Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer)
to obtain guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or
have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail, you may contact us at Toro Warranty
Company.
