This warranty is specific for the product manual to which it is attached.  
For a complete list of products and warranties contact your dealer.  
Proper maintenance of your equipment is the owner’s responsibility. Follow the instructions in your owner’s  
manual for correct lubricants and maintenance schedule. Your dealer carries a complete line of quality lubricants  
and filters for your equipment’s engine, transmission, chassis and attachments.  
1. What Is Covered By This Warranty. This limited warranty covers any defect in materials or workmanship in your  
MTD Pro equipment for two years from the date of purchase for the first user purchaser. MTD Pro will replace or  
repair any part or parts without charge through your authorized MTD Pro dealer. Batteries, belts and tires will be  
covered for a period of ninety (90) days from date of purchase. Engine warranties beyond listed coverage, if  
available, is handled directly with the engine manufacturer.  
2. What Is Not Covered By This Warranty. MTD Pro does not warrant (a) routine maintenance items such as  
lubricants, filters (oil, fuel, air and hydraulic), cleaning, tune-ups, brake or clutch inspection, adjustments made as part  
of normal maintenance, blade sharpening, setup and normal wear. (b) incidental costs such as transporting  
equipment to and from the dealer, telephone charges or renting a product temporarily to replace a warranted product.  
(c) damage caused by use of the equipment for purposes other than those for which it was designed; (d) damage  
caused by accident or disasters such as fire, flood, wind and lightning; (e) damage caused by unauthorized  
attachments or modification; or (f) any other abuse or misuse of the equipment. There is no other express warranty.  
3. Exclusive Warranty. The foregoing warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties or remedies, whether  
written, oral or implied. Any and all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, course of  
dealing or usage of trade are hereby expressly disclaimed and excluded.  
4. Limitation of Remedies. Under no circumstances, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, shall MTD Pro  
be liable for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential arising out of the use or  
inability to use this equipment including but not limited to any claim for loss of profits, loss of savings or revenue, loss  
of use of the equipment or any associated equipment, facilities or service, downtime, the claims or costs of third  
parties including customers, and injury to property.  
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied

exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights  
which vary from state to state.
