The Toro Starting Guarantee

A Five-Year Full Warranty on All Toro GTS®-5 Engines

(Not Applicable for Commercial Use)

Super Recycler Super Bagger Walk Mowers

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 engines.

Instructions for Obtaining Warranty Service

If you think that your Toro product contains a defect in materials or workmanship, 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. You may also call our Toro Customer Care Department toll free at 888-865-5688 (U.S. customers) or 888-865-5705 (Canada customers).

2. Bring the product and your proof of purchase (sales receipt) to

the Service Dealer.

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the Service Dealer’s analysis or with the assistance provided, call us toll free at the numbers listed or write us at:

Owner Responsibilities

You must maintain your Toro Engine by following the maintenance schedule detailed in the Operator’s Manual. You must record this work in the maintenance chart provided in your Operator’s Manual and keep your proof of purchase. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is at your expense.

Items and Conditions Not Covered

There is no other express warranty except for The Toro Total Coverage Guarantee and special emission system coverage on some products. This warranty does not cover the following:

• Any repairs on products used commercially

• Repairs or adjustments due to the following:

-- failure to follow proper maintenance procedures

-- rotary mower blade striking an object

-- contaminants in the fuel system

-- improper fuel or fuel mixture (consult your operator’s 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

• Special operational conditions where starting may require more than two pulls, including the following:

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

seasonal storage

If you have difficulty starting your unit, please check the Operator’s Manual to ensure that you are using the correct starting procedure. This can save an unnecessary visit to a Service Dealer.

General Conditions

All repairs covered by this warranty must be performed by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement parts. Repair by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer is your sole remedy under this warranty.

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.

Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
