FOREWORD
This Service Update Book is intended for Authorized Dealers who are familiar with outdoor power equipment. It is necessary, and good shop practice, that your service area be equipped with proper tools and the mechanics be supplied with the latest information available. The information in this handbook and a properly equipped shop will aid in making necessary repairs as simple as possible in a complete and satisfactory manner.
The Technical Service Handbook Form Number 770-8640M, again will suggest methods of repair on current products. It is intended to supplement the Technical Service Update Book.
All repair procedures illustrated in this update book are suggested methods of repair. With the aid of the informa­tion in this handbook, the technician should be able to repair or replace parts as necessary to correct most service problems. The service technician can also diagnose a problem more easily with a better knowledge of potential problems. Alternate methods of repair are acceptable but not encouraged. Alternate methods, in come cases, may be more time consuming and may result in a dealer performing unnecessary steps to repair a unit. The more you familiarize yourself with potential service problems, the more efficient your operation will become.
We recommend you keep this Service Update Book in your shop for future reference.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE POLICY
MTD SERVICE CENTERS
PURPOSE
The purpose of warranty is to protect the customer from defects in materials and workmanship, defects which are not detected at the time of manufacture. Warranty does not imply, state or provide for the unlimited and unrestricted replacement of parts. The customer is responsible for their use and maintenance of the unit, and is responsible for providing adequate proof of purchase to substantiate any warranty claim. The manufacturer cannot and will not assume responsibility for conditions over which it has no control.
MTD MANUFACTURER'S LIMITED WARRANTY
Units exported out of the United States: MTD
PRODUCTS INC does not extend any warranty for products sold or exported outside of the United States of America, its possessions and territories, except those sold through MTD PRODUCTS INC's autho­rized channels of export distribution

vide the sole and exclusive remedy of MTD PRODUCTS INC's obligations arising from the sales of its products. MTD PRODUCTS INC will not be liable for incidental or consequential loss or damage.
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. Certain disclaimers are not allowed in some states and therefore they may not apply to you under all cir­cumstances.
NOTE: This warranty does not cover routine mainte­nance items such as lubricants, filters, blade sharpen­ing and tune-ups, or adjustments such as brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck adjustments.

PROCESSING:
• Most warranty claims are processed directly by the factory.
• Claims received which are missing information will be returned to the repairing service center.
• All claims must be filed within thirty (30) days after service is completed.
• MTD reserves the right to review any major repairs BEFORE work is performed. A major repair is considered any repair where the cost of repair is excessive in relation to the value of the unit. Authorization for major repairs is extended by the MTD Service Department or the authorized Central Service Distributor.
• Any claim judged to be excessive may be adjusted by MTD. The MTD "Job Estimating Guide" provides a rule of thumb time allowance for most standard repairs. PLEASE NOTE that upon receipt of an adequate explana­tion MTD WILL consider any and all extenuating circumstances which may apply on a warranty claim.
• Any claims not in compliance with the above will not be accepted.
• All parts sold or used for MTD warranty repairs MUST be genuine MTD original equipment parts.
• PLEASE MAIL ALL CLAIMS NOT INVOLVING RETURN PARTS TO:
MTD PRODUCTS INC P.O. Box 368022 Cleveland, Ohio 44136-9722 ATTENTION: WARRANTY
WARRANTY PARTS RETURN POLICY
Parts replaced under warranty must be held by the servicing firm for a period of thirty (30) days after the claim is paid. MTD reserves the right to request the return of any part replaced under warranty for inspection. If inspection is required a letter will be sent to the dealer explaining return shipping procedures.
1. Differentials
2. Clutches
3. Transaxles (upon request)
4. PTO Assemblies
5. Chain and Gear case assemblies (current production year only)
6. Hydrostatic valves
7. Hydrostatic pumps
8. Hydraulic cylinders (ONLY when non-repairable)
9. Electric motors (warranty period units only)
When returning a part for warranty credit and/or inspection, a COPY of the original WARRANTY CLAIM should be placed in a plastic bag and included with the parts. If more than one part is being returned, attach each claim copy to the appropriate part. Any part returned to MTD should be shipped via the most cost effective method. Freight charges for these parts are reimbursed to the repairing dealer. Documentation of these freight charges should be included with your warranty claim.
Each component that is returned is disassembled and inspected for failure mode. This information is crucial in the process of continuous improvement.

Transmission Warranty Process
MTD Service Centers
1
Dealer inspects unit
Determines unit should be replaced
under warranty
2
Dealer calls parts distributor for
like-kind exchange after providing necessary information
3
Replacement unit sent
4
Dealer submits copy of warranty claim form to distributor
which includes ALL necessary information*
5
Dealer submits properly completed original warranty claim
to MTD Warranty Department for processing and
normal reimbursement
6
Dealer returns defective unit to MTD upon
receipt of a return letter
EXPLANATION OF PROCESS STEPS:
1. The dealer must make a thorough inspection using specific diagnostic techniques to determine whether unit must be replaced.
2. The Central Distributor will gather the claim number from the dealer and attach it to the replacement order. Each Central is responsible for maintaining an available supply of units to be used for warranty repairs.
3. Units will be shipped immediately to maintain service levels.
4. The dealer MUST submit a copy of the properly completed warranty claim form to the Central Distributor. Each Central will need this information so that Wegman Service can create a replenishment order. Any copy of a claim form received without COMPLETE information will be returned to the Central without a re-order placed.
5. The dealer will submit the properly completed warranty claim form to MTD per the standard warranty procedure. Claims received with incomplete information will be returned unpaid.
6. Upon receipt of a return letter, the defective unit must be returned to MTD. Shipping charges are reimbursed to the repairing dealer. Defective parts must be retained for a period of 30 days from the receipt of payment for the claim.
It is extremely important to file these claims accurately and immediately. Warranty service should not be an
expense to your Service Center. It should be just another means of payment for a normal repair.

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 use or misuse or inability to use the product.
