WRIGHT MANUFACTURING, INC. POWER EQUIPMENT LIMITED WARRANTY 

THIS WARRANTY SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS ON UNITS WITH A RETAIL SALES DATE ON OR AFTER 

The WMI mower, including any defective part, must be returned to an 
Authorized WMI Service Dealer within the warranty period.  The expense of lost 
production time and delivering the mower to the Authorized WMI Service Dealer 
for warranty work and the expense of returning it to the Owner after repair will 
be paid for by the Owner.  WMI’s responsibility is limited to making the required 
repairs and no claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or 
rescission of the contract of sale of any WMI mower.  This Warranty does not 

apply to any mower that was delivered to an Owner prior to the Pre-Delivery 
Service as specified in the Owner’s Manual.  This Warranty does not apply to 
any mower that was shipped in a crate to the Owner or delivered to the Owner 
by non-employees of an Authorized Dealer.  For the Owner’s protection and a 
valid Warranty, please note:  WMI does not permit Authorized Dealers to make 
non-face-to-face deliveries of the mower and any who are found doing so are 
subject to immediate cancellation as Authorized Dealers.  This Warranty does 
not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, 
burning in any fire, an accident, or that has been operated or maintained in any 
way contrary to the operating and maintenance instructions as specified in the 
Owner’s Manual.  The Warranty does not apply to any damage to the mower 
that is the result of improper maintenance, or to any mower or parts that have 
not been assembled or installed as specified in the Owner’s Manual.  The 
Warranty does not cover any mower that has been altered or modified changing 
performance or durability.  In addition, the Warranty does not extend to repairs 
made necessary by normal wear, or by the use of parts or accessories which, in 
the reasonable judgment of WMI, are either incompatible with the WMI mower 
or adversely affect its operation, performance or durability. 
 
WMI reserves the right to change or improve the design of any mower without 
assuming any obligation to modify any mower previously manufactured. 
 
All other implied warranties are limited in duration to the two (2) year warranty 
period or ninety (90) days for mowers used for rental purposes.  Accordingly, 
any such implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular 
purpose, or otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration for the 
appropriate two (2) year or ninety (90) day warranty period.  WMI’s obligation 
under this Warranty is strictly limited to the repair or replacement of defective 
parts and WMI does not assume, or authorize anyone to assume for them, any 
other obligation.  Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied 
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply. 
 
WMI assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages 
including, but not limited to, expense for gasoline, expense of delivering the 
mower to an Authorized WMI Service Dealer and expense of returning it to the 
Owner, damage by fire, mechanic’s travel time, telephone charges, rental of a 
like product during the time warranty repairs are being performed, travel, loss or 
damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the power 
equipment, loss of time or inconvenience.  Some states do not allow the 
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above 
limitation or exclusion may not apply. 
 
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights 
which vary from state to state. 
 
This Warranty applies to all WMI mowers sold in the United States of America 
and  
Canada.
