as to the parts as identified. No other express warranty,

or replacement lawn care services or for rental expenses to

or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied 
warranty lasts, so the above exclusions or limitations 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 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

inability to use the product.
This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than the
