Federal Emission Control Warranty Statement

A Two-Year Limited Warranty

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Toro, and Toro
Warranty Company are pleased to explain the emission control
system warranty on your 1997 and later utility/lawn/garden
equipment engine.  1997 and later model year utility/lawn/garden
equipment engines must be designed, 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 warrant the emission control system on your utility/lawn/
garden equipment engine for the period of time listed above,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper mainte-
nance of your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connec-
tors, 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 the 1997 and later
utility/lawn/garden equipment 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 repair 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
recommend that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on
your equipment, but we cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts 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
repairs, 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
warranty 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
responsibilities, contact us at:

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
regulations, 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
responsible for the performance of the required maintenance, as
defined in the operator’s manual.

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall be
warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part which is
scheduled 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.
