duration of the original product warranty and become the property of
Toro. Toro will make the fi nal decision whether to repair any existing
part or assembly or replace it. Toro may use remanufactured parts for
warranty repairs.

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 ainte­nance 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.

General Conditions

Repair by an Authorized Toro Distributor or 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 connetion
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. Except for the
Emissions warranty referenced below, if applicable, there is no
other express warranty. All implied warranties of merchantability
and fi tness for use are limited to the duration of this express war-
ranty.

Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.

Note regarding engine warranty:

The Emissions Control System on your Product may be covered by a
separate warranty meeting requirements established by the U.S. Envi­ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resourc­es Board (CARB). The hour limitations set forth above do not apply to
the Emissions Control System Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission
Control Warranty Statement supplied with your product or contained in
the engine manufacturer’s documentation for details.

Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer) to obtain
guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfi ed with your Distributor’s service or have diffi culty ob-
taining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer.
