Damage resulting from the installation or use of any accessory or attachment not approved by MTD Products Inc. for use with the product(s) covered by this manual will void your warranty as to any resulting damages.
Normal wear parts or components thereof are subject to separate terms as follows: All normal wear part or compo­nent failures will be covered on the product for a period of 90 days regardless of cause. After 90 days, but within the two year period, normal wear part failures will be covered ONLY IF caused by defects in material or workmanship of OTHER component parts. Normal wear parts and compo­nents include, but are not limited to, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow thrower skid shoes, shave plates and tires.

d. MTD 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’s authorized channels of export distribu- tion.
No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, applies after the applicable period of express written warranty above as to the parts as identified. No other express warranty or guaranty, whether written or oral, except as mentioned above, given by any person or entity, including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any product shall bind MTD. During the period of the War­ranty, the exclusive remedy is repair or replacement of the product as set forth above. (Some states do not

(Some states do not allow the exclusion or limita-
tion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.)
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the amount of the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration of the safety features of the product shall void this War­ranty. 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.
