replacement or repair due to accidents or lack of proper maintenance
Repairs necessary due to electrical supply irregularities

improper starting procedures
If you are having diffi culty starting your unit, please check the Operator’s

can save an unnecessary visit to a Service Dealer.
General Conditions
All repairs covered by these warranties must be performed by an Autho-
rized or Master Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement
parts. Repair by a Toro Service Dealer is your sole remedy under these
warranties. Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is
liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages in connec-
tion with the use of the Toro Products covered by these warranties,
including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or
service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending
completion of repairs under these warranties. Some states do not al-
low exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and
limitations 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.
