rate one year warranty.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of

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

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.

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

HOW STATE LAW RELATES TO THIS WARRANTY: This 
limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may 
also have other rights which vary from state to state.

                       IMPORTANT: Owner must present Original Proof of Purchase to obtain warranty coverage.
