MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR:

The limited warranty set forth below is given by MTD LLC with 
respect to new merchandise purchased and used in the 
United States, its possessions and territories.

“MTD” warrants this product against defects in material and 
workmanship for 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 and maintained in 
accordance with the Operator’s Manual furnished with the 
product, and has not been subject to misuse, abuse, 
commercial use, neglect, accident, improper maintenance, 
alteration, vandalism, theft, fire, water, or damage because of 
other peril 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 not 
limited to items such as: batteries, belts, blades, blade 
adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow thrower 
skid shoes, shave plates, auger spiral rubber and tires. 

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE:

 Warranty service is available, 

WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE, through your local authorized 
service dealer. To locate the dealer in your area, check your 
Yellow Pages, or contact MTD LLC at P.O. Box 361131, 
Cleveland, Ohio 44136-0019, or call 1-800-800-7310 or log 
on to our Web site at www.mtdproducts.com.

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 manufacturer’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.

MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold or 

exported outside of the United States, its possessions 
and territories, except those sold through MTD’s 
authorized channels of export distribution.

f.

Replacement parts that are not genuine MTD parts.

g.

Transportation charges and service calls.

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 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.

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.
