Owner Responsibilities

As the product owner, you are responsible for required maintenance and
adjustments stated in your

Operator's Manual

. Repairs for product issues

caused by failure to perform required maintenance and adjustments are not
covered under this warranty.

Items and Conditions Not Covered

Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the warranty
period are defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not
cover the following:

Product failures which result from the use of non-Toro replacement
parts, or from installation and use of add-on, or modified non-Toro
branded accessories and products.

Product failures which result from failure to perform recommended
maintenance and/or adjustments.

Product failures which result from operating the Product in an abusive,
negligent, or reckless manner.

Parts consumed through use that are not defective. Examples of parts
which are consumed, or used up, during normal Product operation
include, but are not limited to, brake pads and linings, clutch linings,
blades, reels, rollers and bearings (sealed or greasable), bed knives,
spark plugs, castor wheels and bearings, tires, filters, belts, and certain
sprayer components such as diaphragms, nozzles, flow meters, and

Failures caused by outside influence, including, but not limited to,
weather, storage practices, contamination, use of unapproved fuels,
coolants, lubricants, additives, fertilizers, water, or chemicals.

Failure or performance issues due to the use of fuels (e.g. gasoline,
diesel, or biodiesel) that do not conform to their respective industry
standards.

Normal noise, vibration, wear and tear, and deterioration. Normal
“wear and tear” includes, but is not limited to, damage to seats due to
wear or abrasion, worn painted surfaces, scratched decals or windows.

Parts

Parts scheduled for replacement as required maintenance are warranted
for the period of time up to the scheduled replacement time for that part.
Parts replaced under this warranty are covered for the duration of the
original product warranty and become the property of Toro. Toro will make
the final decision whether to repair any existing part or assembly or replace
it. Toro may use remanufactured parts for warranty repairs.

Deep Cycle and Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty

Deep cycle and Lithium-Ion batteries have a specified total number
of kilowatt-hours they can deliver during their lifetime. Operating,
recharging, and maintenance techniques can extend or reduce total
battery life. As the batteries in this product are consumed, the amount
of useful work between charging intervals will slowly decrease until the
battery is completely worn out. Replacement of worn out batteries,
due to normal consumption, is the responsibility of the product owner.
Note: (Lithium-Ion battery only): Refer to the battery warranty for additional
information.

Lifetime Crankshaft Warranty (ProStripe 02657 Model

Only)

The Prostripe which is fitted with a genuine Toro Friction Disc and
Crank-Safe Blade Brake Clutch (integrated Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) +
Friction Disc assembly) as original equipment and used by the original
purchaser in accordance with recommended operating and maintenance
procedures, are covered by a Lifetime Warranty against engine crankshaft
bending. Machines fitted with friction washers, Blade Brake Clutch (BBC)
units and other such devices are not covered by the Lifetime Crankshaft
Warranty.

Maintenance is at Owner’s Expense

Engine tune-up, lubrication, cleaning and polishing, replacement of filters,
coolant, and completing recommended maintenance are some of the
normal services Toro products require that are at the owner’s expense.

General Conditions

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

The Toro Company is not 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. Except
for the Emissions warranty referenced below, if applicable, there is no
other express warranty. All implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for use are limited to the duration of this express 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.

Note Regarding Emissions Warranty

The Emissions Control System on your Product may be covered by
a separate warranty meeting requirements established by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources
Board (CARB). The hour limitations set forth above do not apply to the
Emissions Control System Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission Control
Warranty Statement supplied with your product or contained in the engine
manufacturer’s documentation.

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 your Authorized Toro Service Center.
