The EZ Start Promise
Provisions of Your Limited Warranty
In addition to the other terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty
applicable to your new mower, MTD LLC (“MTD”) hereby warrants
that your mower’s engine will start on the first or second attempt by
an able-bodied adult (subject to the limitations described below) for
the duration of the manufacturer’s limited warranty applicable to your
product. If the engine on your mower fails to conform to this limited
warranty, MTD will cover the cost of parts and labor associated with
any adjustments and/or repairs necessary to return your engine
to its warranted condition. In order to make a claim under these
provisions of your warranty, you must bring the product and proof of
purchase to an authorized MTD service provider. In many cases, the
retailer who sold you your mower is not equipped to provide warranty
service, so please locate the authorized service dealer nearest you by
either calling the phone number provided in your Operators Manual or
looking up an authorized service dealer on-line at www.mtdproducts.

non-use over one month or seasonal storage, 3) cool temperature
starts such as those found in early spring and late autumn, and 4)
difficult starting that results from the operator’s failure to follow
the proper starting procedures identified in the Operator’s Manual.
If you are having difficulty starting your unit, please check the
Operator’s Manual to ensure that you are using the correct starting
procedures. This can save an unnecessary visit to a Service
Dealer.
Owner Responsibilities
You must maintain your mower (including its engine) by following the
maintenance procedures and starting instructions described in the
Operator’s Manual. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by
a dealer or by you, is at your expense. In addition, please retain your
proof of purchase and service receipts as these may be required to
validate a claim.
General Conditions
An authorized MTD service provider using approved replacement
parts must perform all repairs covered by the EZ Start Promise.
Repair by an MTD authorized service dealer is your sole remedy
under this warranty. MTD is not liable for indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages in connection with the use of the 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 this
warranty.
Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
certain exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
