-5 Engines

Conditions and Products Covered

The Toro Company and its affiliate, Toro Warranty Company, pursuant to an agreement between them, jointly guarantee that your Toro Engine will start on the first or second pull for five years from the date of purchase—if you provide the routine maintenance it requires—or we will fix it free of charge. This warranty covers the cost of parts and labor, but you must pay transportation costs. This covers Toro rotary mower and snow product engines.

Instructions for Obtaining Warranty Service

If a normal, able-bodied adult can no longer start your product’s engine in one or two pulls, follow this procedure:

1. Contact any Toro Authorized or Master Service Dealer to

arrange service at their dealership. To locate a dealer convenient to you, refer to the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory (look under “Lawn Mowers”) or access our website at www.Toro.com. U.S. Customers may also call 800-421-9684 to use our 24-hour Toro dealer locator system.

2. Bring the product, your maintenance records, and your proof of

purchase (sales receipt) to the Service Dealer.

You must maintain your Toro Engine by following the maintenance schedule detailed in the operator’s manual.

Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is at your expense.

• Any repairs on products used commercially

manual if in doubt) – failure to drain the fuel system prior to any period of

non-use over three months – operation misuse, neglect, or accidents – repairs or attempted repairs by anyone other than an

Authorized Service Dealer

– first time starts after extended period of non-use or

seasonal storage

If you are having difficulty starting your unit, please check the operator’s manual to ensure that you are using the correct starting procedures. This can save an unnecessary visit to a Service Dealer.

All warranty repairs reimbursable under this warranty must be performed by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement parts.

Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection with the use of the Toro Products covered by this warranty, including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs under this warranty.
