1.  This warranty does not apply to the engine, battery (except as noted below) or components parts thereof.  Please refer to 
the applicable manufacturer's warranty on these items.
2.  Transportation charges for the movement of any power equipment unit or attachment are the responsibility of the pur chas-

to be defective in manufacture, during the first ninety (90) days of ownership. After ninety (90) days, we will exchange the 
Battery, charging you 1/12 of the price of a new Battery for each full month from the date of the original sale. Battery must 
be maintained in accordance with the instructions furnished.
4.  The Warranty does not apply to any products used for rental or commercial purposes.
5.  This Warranty applies only to products which have been properly assembled, adjusted, operated, and main tained in ac-

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND ANY IMPLIED WAR RAN-
 TIES ARE LIMITED TO THE SAME TIME PERIODS STATED HEREIN FOR OUR EXPRESSED WARRANTIES. Some areas 
do not allow the limitation of consequential damages or limitations of how long an implied Warranty may last, so the above 
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights 
which vary from locale to locale.
This is a limited Warranty within the meaning of that term as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975.
