a period of two (2) years commencing on the date of original purchase and will, at its option, repair or replace, free of charge, any 
part found to be defective in materials or workmanship. This limited warranty shall only apply if this product has been operated

or natural disaster. Damage resulting from the installation or use of any part, accessory or attachment not approved by MTD for use 
with the product(s) covered by this manual will void your warranty as to any resulting damage. 
Normal wear parts are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of 
purchase. Normal wear parts include, but are not limited to items such as: batteries, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass bags, rider

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

e.  MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold or exported outside of Canada, including possessions and territories.
f.  Replacement parts that are not genuine MTD parts. 
g.  Transportation charges and service calls. 
h.  If Products are used commercially.  (MTD may separately offer Limited Commercial Warranties on certain select products. Ask

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability of 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 MTD. 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. MTD 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 jurisdictions 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. 
HOW LOCAL LAWS RELATE TO THIS WARRANTY: This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have 
other rights that vary in different jurisdictions.
