Warranty

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Re-
sources Board (CARB), and Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.,
are pleased to explain the Emissions Control System Warranty on your
new 2014/2015 small off-road engine/equipment. In California, new
equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In other
states, new small off-road engines/equipment must be designed, built,
and equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for
small off-road engines/equipment. The small off-road engine/ equipment
must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause
it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first four years of
engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Techtronic
Industries North America, Inc., must warrant the emission control
system on your small off-road engine/equipment for the period of time
listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine/equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor
or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel
tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, fuel lines, fuel caps, canisters,
vapor hoses, and other associated components. Also included may be
hoses, belts and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
For engines less than or equal to 80 cc only the fuel tank is subject to
the evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this section.
(California Only)
Where a warrantable condition exists, Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc., will repair your small off-road engine/equipment at no
cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE
This 1995 and later small off-road emissions control system is war-
ranted for four years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Techtronic Industries
North America, Inc.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the small off-road engine/equipment owner, you are respon-
sible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
operator’s manual. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., recom-
mends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small
off-road engine/equipment, but Techtronic Industries North America,
Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
(b) As the small off-road engine/equipment owner, you should be
aware, however, that Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., may
deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine/equipment
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or
unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine/
equipment to a service center as soon as a problem exists. The war-
ranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and re-
sponsibilities, you should contact a Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc., Customer Representative at 1-866-574-9242 (US) or
1-866-574-9243 (Canada) or www.toro.com.
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is
delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent
purchaser that your small off-road engine/equipment is designed,
built, and equipped at the time of sale to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board or the
United States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free
from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine
to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a period of four years
from the date the small off-road engine/equipment is purchased by the
initial purchaser. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in
performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance
or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of Techtronic
Industries North America, Inc.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as
follows: Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as
required in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for four years. If any
such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspec-
tion) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or
replaced at any TORO® Authorized Service Center at no charge. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for
the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair or
replace as necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty cover-
age. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for the period
of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point,
and will be repaired or replaced at any TORO® Authorized Service
Center for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., shall remedy warranty de-
fects at any authorized TORO® Authorized Service Center, including
any distribution center that may be franchised to service the subject
engines. Any diagnostic work done at a TORO® Authorized Service
Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that
a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equivalent
replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs
on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the
owner if the part is still under warranty. Techtronic Industries North
America, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine components caused
by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air
Resource Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-
on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will not be liable to warrant
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-
on or modified part.
The Emission Parts List specifically defines the emission-related war-
ranted parts. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will provide any
documents that describe its warranty procedures or policies within five
days upon request by the California Air Resources Board.
