WARRANTY
THE FOLLOWING CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) STATEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO MODEL
NUMBERS REQUIRED TO MEET THE CARB REQUIREMENTS.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources
Board (CARB), and Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., are pleased
to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your 2012 model year
non-road or small off-road engine. In California, new equipment that uses
small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the
state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 2012 model year
non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale
to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The non-road
engine must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause
it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first three years of engine
use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Techtronic Industries
North America, Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your non-
road or small off-road engine for the period of time listed above provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your non-road
or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves,
filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included
may be hoses, belts and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Techtronic Industries North America,
Inc., will repair your non-road or small off-road engine at no cost to you, in-
cluding diagnosis, parts, and labor performed at an authorized service center
for Toro
®
brand outdoor products.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This product’s emissions control system is warranted for three years. If any
emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or
replaced by Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., free of charge.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your non-road or small off-road engine, but
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in perfor-
mance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs,
and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware,
however, that Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., may deny you war-
ranty coverage if your non-road or small off-road engine or a part has failed
due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine
to an authorized service dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities,
you should contact a Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., Customer
Representative at 1-866-574-9242 (US) or 1-866-574-9243 (Canada).
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is deliv-
ered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Techtronic Industries North Amer-
ica, Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser
that your non-road or small off-road engine is designed, built, and equipped
at the time of sale to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the
California Air Resources Board or the United States Environmental Protection
Agency; and that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship which
cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a period of
three years from the date the non-road or small off-road engine is purchased
by the initial purchaser.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: Any
warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required in the Emis-
sions Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List set forth below is war-
ranted for three years. If any such part (including any part that is scheduled
only for regular inspection) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will
be repaired or replaced at any Toro
®
Authorized Service Center at no charge.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair or replace as
necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any warranted
part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Emis-
sions Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List is warranted for the
period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the remainder
of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point, and will be re-
paired or replaced at any Toro
®
Authorized Service Center for no charge until
that replacement point is reached.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at
any authorized Toro
®
Authorized Service Center, including any distribution
center that may be franchised to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic
work done at a Toro
®
Authorized Service Center shall be free of charge to
the owner if such work determines that a warranted part is defective. Any
manufacturer-approved or equivalent replacement part may be used for any
warranty maintenance or repairs on emission-related parts, and must be pro-
vided free of charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty. Techtronic
Industries North America, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine compo-
nents caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air Re-
source Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or
modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. Techtronic In-
dustries North America, Inc., will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted
parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
The California Air Resources Board’s Emission Warranty Parts List specifi-
cally defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA’s regulations do not
include a parts list, but the EPA considers emission-related warranted parts
to include all the parts listed below.) Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.,
will provide any documents that describe its warranty procedures or policies
within five days upon request by the California Air Resources Board.
