Some applications, such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.

This warranty cevers engine related defective material and/or workmanship n#Bjy_and not repmaeement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted°
