Federal and California Emission Control
Warranty Statement
A Two-Year Limited Warranty
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California
Air Resources Board (CARB), Toro, and Toro Warranty Company
are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on
your 2000 and later small off-road engine (SORE). In California,
new small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped
to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. In other states,
new 1997 and later model year non-road engines must be de-
signed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA
regulations for small non-road engines. The equipment engine
must be free from defects in materials and workmanship, which
cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards, for the first two
years of engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser.
Toro and Toro Warranty Company must warrant the emission con-
trol system on your engine for the period of time listed above, pro-
vided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance
of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carbu-
retor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic con-
verter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other
emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Toro and Toro Warranty
Company promise to repair your engine at no cost to you, including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
Toro and its affiliate, Toro Warranty Company, pursuant to an
agreement between them, jointly warrant small off-road engines
for two years from the date of delivery. If any emission-related part
on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, we will re-
pair or replace the part, free of charge.
Owner Responsibilities
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. We rec-
ommend that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
equipment, but we cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of re-
ceipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance
and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or re-
pairs, and shall not reduce our warranty obligation.
As the engine owner, you should be aware that we may deny you
warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications or
parts.
You are responsible for presenting your equipment engine to an
Authorized Service Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The war-
ranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed thirty (30) days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and re-
sponsibilities or if you need a referral to a Toro Service Dealer,

Warranted Parts
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is
delivered to a retail purchaser. Toro and Toro Warranty Company
jointly warrant to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser
that the engine is free from defects in materials and workmanship,
which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regula-
tions, for a period of two years.
Failures caused by abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance are
not covered. The use of add-on or modified parts can be grounds
for disallowing a warranty claim. We are not liable to cover failures
of warranted parts caused by the use of add-on or modified parts.
We are liable for damages to other engine components caused by
the failure of a warranted part still under warranty. The owner is re-
sponsible for the performance of the required maintenance, as de-
fined in the operator’s manual.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as re-
quired maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall be war-
ranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part which is sched-
uled for replacement as required maintenance shall be warranted
for the period of time up to the first scheduled replacement point for
that part. Coverage under this warranty extends only to the parts
listed below (the emissions system parts) to the extent that these
parts were present on the engine when purchased.
