FEDERALand/or CALIFORNIAEMISSIONCONTROLWARRANTYSTATEMENT

YOURWARRANTYRIGHTSANDOBLIGATIONS

MTD Consumer Group Inc, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and for those products certified for sale in the state of

California, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are pleased to explain the emission (evaporative and/or exhaust) control system (ECS)

warranty on your 2013 and later small off-road spark-ignited engine and equipment (outdoor equipment engine). In California, new outdoor

equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards (in other states, outdoor

equipment engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA small off-road spark ignition engine regulations). MTD

Consumer Group Inc must warrant the ECSon your outdoor equipment engine for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no

abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of the outdoor equipment engine.

Your ECS may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps,

valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated emission-related components.

Where a warrantable condition exists, MTD Consumer Group Inc will repair your outdoor equipment engine at no cost to you including

diagnosis, parts, and labor.

MANUFACTURER'SWARRANTYCOVERAGE:

This emission control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your outdoor equipment engine is defective, the

part will be repaired or replaced by MTD Consumer Group Inc. In the event that a component is covered for longer than two years by the

Manufacturer's equipment warranty, the longer coverage period will apply.

/

OWNERSWARRANTYRESPONSIBILITIES:

As the outdoor equipment engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. MTD

Consumer Group Inc recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your outdoor equipment engine, but MTD Consumer

Group Inc cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.

As the outdoor equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that MTD Consumer Group Inc may deny you warranty coverage if

your outdoor equipment engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your outdoor equipment engine to MTD Consumer Group Inc's distribution center or service center as soon

as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question

regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact the MTD Consumer Group Inc Service Department at 1-800-800-7310 or at

http://su pport.mtd prod ucts.com.

GENERALEMISSIONSWARRANTYCOVERAGE:

MTD Consumer Group Inc warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the outdoor equipment engine is: (1)

designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and (2) free from defects in materials and workmanship that

cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

The warranty period begins on the date the outdoor equipment engine is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service.

Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:

1. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted for

the warranty period stated above. If the part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by MTD

Consumer Group Inc according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the

remainder of the period.

2. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the warranty period

stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

3. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted for the

period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement, the part

will be repaired or replaced by MTD Consumer Group Inc according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under

warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.

Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions herein must be performed at a warranty station at no charge

to the owner.

4.

5. Notwithstanding the provisions herein, warranty services or repairs will be provided at all of our distribution centers that are franchised to

service the subject engines or equipment.

6. The outdoor equipment engine owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that is directly associated with diagnosis of a defective,

emission-related warranted part, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.

7. MTD Consumer Group Inc is liable for damages to other engine or equipment components proximately caused by a failure under

warranty of any warranted part.

8. Throughout the off-road engine and equipment warranty period stated above, MTD Consumer Group Inc will maintain a supply of

warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

9. Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to

the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of MTD Consumer Group Inc.

10. Add-onormodifiedpartsthatarenotexemptedbytheAirResourcesBoardmaynotbeused.Theuseofanynon-exemptedadd-onor

WARRANTEDPARTS:

The repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for warranty coverage may be excluded from such warranty coverage if

MTD Consumer Group Inc demonstrates that the outdoor equipment engine has been abused, neglected, or improperly maintained, and that

such abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need for repair or replacement of the part. That notwithstanding,

any adjustment of a component that has a factory installed, and properly operating, adjustment limiting device is still eligible for warranty

coverage. Further, the coverage under this warranty extends only to parts that were present on the off-road engine and equipment purchased.

The following emission warranty parts are covered (if applicable):

Cold start enrichment system (soft choke)
