We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty
repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For
example, warranty service would not apply if equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance,
shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial
number on the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. During the warranty period, the
Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal
use and service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:
Normal Wear: Outdoor Power Equipment and engines, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to
perform well. This warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.
installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or
unauthorized installation or alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper
maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment, to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also
does not cover normal maintenance such as adjustments, fuel system cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon,
lime, etc.).
Other Exclusions: This warranty excludes wear items such as oil gauges, o-rings, filters, fuses, spark plugs, starting
batteries, etc., or damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or
freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts are excluded from the product warranty. This warranty excludes failures
due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control. Also excluded is used, reconditioned,
and demonstration equipment; equipment used for prime power in place of utility power and equipment used in life support
applications.
