Rev. 2/9/98
Federal Emission Control Warranty Statement
A Two Year Limited Warranty
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Toro are pleased to explain the emission control
system warranty on your 1997 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engine. 1997 and later model year
utility/lawn/garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet
the U.S. EPA regulations for small nonroad engines. The equipment engine must be free from defects in
materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first two
years of engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Toro must warrant the emission
control system on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine for the period of time listed above provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the
ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, and connectors and other
emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Toro will repair your engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
The 1997 and later utility/lawn/garden equipment engines are warranted for two years from the date of
delivery. If any emission–related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part
will be repaired or replaced by Toro free of charge.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:
• As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed
in your owner’s manual. Toro recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on
your equipment, but Toro cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure
to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
• 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 the
engine manufacturer.
• As the engine owner, you should, however, be aware that Toro may deny you warranty
coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
unapproved modifications or parts.
• You are responsible for presenting your equipment engine to a TORO Service Dealer as soon as
a problem exists. The warranty 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 responsibilities or if you need a
referral to a TORO Service Dealer, please feel free to contact us at the following address:

Warranted Parts:
The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to a retail purchaser. The
manufacturer warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is free from
defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations
for a period of two years.
Failures caused by abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance are not covered. The use of add–on or
modified parts can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer is not liable to cover
failures of warranted parts caused by the use of add–on or modified parts. Toro is liable for damages to
other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty. The owner is
responsible for the performance of the required maintenance, as defined by the manufacturer in the written
instructions.
