product or any TORO ProLine Service Dealer. The Yellow
Pages of your telephone directory is a good reference
source; look under TORO Commercial Service Dealers. The
Service Dealer will either arrange service at his/her dealer-
ship or recommend another authorized Service Dealer who
may be more convenient. You may need proof of purchase
(copy of registration card, sales receipt, etc.) for warranty
validation.

required replacement or repair due to normal wear, acci-
