CRAFTSMAN LIMITED WARRANTY
TWO YEARS ON TRACTOR
When operated and maintained according to all supplied instructions, if this tractor fails due to a defect in material or
workmanship within two years from the date or purchase, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®
to arrange for free repair.
During the first year of purchase, there will be no charge for warranty service in your home. For your convenience,
in-home warranty service will still be available after the first year of purchase, but a trip charge will apply. This charge
will be waived if you transport the tractor to an authorized Craftsman drop-off location. For the nearest authorized
location, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®.
90 DAYS ON BATTERY
For ninety (90) days from date of purchase, if the battery included with this tractor is defective in material or workman-
ship (our testing proves it will not hold a charge), it will be replaced free of charge in your home.
This warranty covers ONLY defects in material and workmanship. Sears will NOT pay for:
•
Expendable items that become worn during normal use, including but not limited to blades, spark plugs, air
cleaners, belts, and oil filters.
•
Standard maintenance servicing, oil changes, or tune-ups.
•
Tire replacement or repair caused by punctures from outside objects, such as nails, thorns, stumps, or glass.
•
Tire or wheel replacement or repair resulting from normal wear, accident, or improper operation or maintenance.
•
Repairs necessary because of operator abuse, including but not limited to damage caused by towing objects
beyond the capability of the tractor, impacting objects that bend the frame or crankshaft, or over-speeding the
engine.
•
Repairs necessary because of operator negligence, including but not limited to, electrical and mechanical dam-
age caused by improper storage, failure to use the proper grade and amount of engine oil, failure to keep the
deck clear of flammable debris, or failure to maintain the equipment according to the instructions contained in
the operator's manual.
•
Engine (fuel system) cleaning or repairs caused by fuel determined to be contaminated or oxidized (stale). In
general, fuel should be used within 30 days of its purchase date.
•
Normal deterioration and wear of the exterior finishes, or product label replacement.
All tractor and battery warranty coverage is void if this product is ever used for commercial or rental purposes.
This warranty applies only while this product is within the United States.
