Thank you for purchasing Snapper Pro commercial mowing equipment. Please take a few minutes to read this limited warranty information. It con-
tains all the information you will need to have your Snapper Pro mower repaired in the unlikely event that a breakdown covered by this limited warranty
should occur.
Owner's Responsibilities - As a condition to our obligations under this limited warranty, you shall have read the operator's manual and you shall have
completed and submitted to Snapper Pro, within 20 days from the date of purchase, the Snapper Pro Product Registration. You must properly service
and maintain your Snapper Pro product as described in the operator's manual. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is
at your expense. The Snapper Pro equipment, including any defective part covered by this limited warranty, must be returned to an authorized Snapper
Pro dealer within the warranty period for warranty service. This limited warranty extends only to equipment operated under normal conditions and in
accordance with Snapper Pro' instructions.
Warranty Start Date - The limited warranty coverage begins on the day you buy your new Snapper Pro commercial mowing equipment. An authorized
Snapper Pro dealer will assist you in filling out a Snapper Pro Product Registration with specific information for the model you purchase and your per-
sonal information, which must be returned to Snapper Pro.
Limited Warranty - The limited warranty, set forth below, is a written guarantee by Snapper Pro, during the warranty period, to repair or replace parts
which have a substantial defect in materials or workmanship. The warranty is "limited" because it is for a specified period of time, applies to the origi-
nal purchaser only, and is subject to other restrictions.

warranty, you must provide prompt notice of your claim to an authorized Snapper Pro dealer during the warranty period. Snapper Pro' obligation under
this limited warranty is, at Snapper Pro' option, to repair or replace any part or parts of the mower, which, in the judgment of Snapper Pro, are found to
be defective and covered by this limited warranty. An authorized Snapper Pro dealer will repair or replace the defective part or parts, at the dealer's
place of business, at no charge for the labor or parts. This limited warranty applies only to mowers sold in the United States and Canada and is sub-
ject to the following limitations.
