Parts scheduled for replacement as required maintenance are war­ranted for the period of time up to the scheduled replacement time
for that part. Parts replaced under this warranty are covered for the

Note Regarding Deep Cycle Battery Warranty:

Deep cycle batteries have a specifi ed total number of kilowatt-
hours they can deliver during their lifetime. Operating, recharging,
and maintenance techniques can extend or reduce total battery
life. As the batteries in this product are consumed, the amount
of useful work between charging intervals will slowly decrease
until the battery is completely worn out. Replacement of worn out
batteries, due to normal consumption, is the responsibility of the
product owner. Battery replacement may be required during the
normal product warranty period at owner’s expense.

Maintenance is at Owner’s Expense

Engine tune-up, lubrication cleaning and polishing, replacement of
fi lters, coolant, and completing Recommended Maintenance are
some of the normal services Toro products require that are at the
owner’s expense.
