This limited warranty does

 not 

provide coverage in the following 

cases:
a.  The engine or component parts thereof. These items may carry a 

separate manufacturer’s warranty. Refer to applicable manufac-

turer’s warranty for terms and conditions.

b.  Log splitter pumps, valves, and cylinders have a separate one- 

year warranty.

c.  Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade 

sharpening, tune-ups, brake adjustments, clutch adjustments, 

deck adjustments, and normal deterioration of the exterior finish 

due to use or exposure.

d.  Service completed by someone other than an authorized service 

dealer.

e.  Troy-Bilt does not extend any warranty for products sold or 

exported outside of the United States and/or Canada, and their 

respective possessions and territories, except those sold through 

Troy-Bilt’s authorized channels of export distribution.

f.  Replacement parts that are not genuine Troy-Bilt parts.
g.  Transportation charges and service calls.
h.  Troy-Bilt does not warrant this product for commercial use.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of 

merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, applies after 

the applicable period of express written warranty above as to the 

parts as identified. No other express warranty, whether written or 

oral, except as mentioned above, given by any person or entity, 

including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any product, shall 

bind Troy-Bilt. During the period of the warranty, the exclusive 

remedy is repair or replacement of the product as set forth above.
The provisions as set forth in this warranty provide the sole and 

exclusive remedy arising from the sale. Troy-Bilt shall not be liable 

for incidental or consequential loss or damage including, without 

limitation, expenses incurred for substitute or replacement lawn 

care services or for rental expenses to temporarily replace a 

warranted product.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental 

or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied 

warranty lasts, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply 

to you.
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the amount of 

the purchase price of the product sold. 

Alteration of safety features of 

the product shall void this warranty.

 You assume the risk and liability 

for loss, damage, or injury to you and your property and/or to others 

and their property arising out of the misuse or inability to use the 

product.
This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than the 

original purchaser or to the person for whom it was purchased as a 

gift.

warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other 

rights which vary from state to state.
