For two (2) years from the date of purchase, if this Craftsman Riding Equipment is

nience,  IN HOME warranty service will still be available after the fi rst 30 days of pur-
chase, but a trip charge will apply. This charge will be waived if the Crafts man product is 
dropped off at an authorized Sears location. For the nearest authorized Sears location, 
please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®.   This warranty applies only while this product is within

caused by towing objects beyond the capability of the riding equipment, impacting 
objects that bend the frame or crankshaft, or over-speeding the engine.

•  Repairs necessary because of operator negligence, including but not limited to, elec-

trical and mechanical damage caused by improper storage, failure to use the proper

will not hold a charge, Sears will replace the battery at no charge.  During the fi rst 30 
days of purchase, there will be no charges to replace the battery at your HOME.  After 
the fi rst 30 days, for your convenience, IN-HOME warranty service will still be avail-
