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

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.

of use of the equipment or any associated equipment, facilities or service, downtime, the claims or costs of third
