Owner's Limited Warranty Information
(Effective 04/28/2004)
Thank you for purchasing Ferris commercial mowing equipment. Please take a few minutes to read this limited warranty information. It contains all the information you will need to have your Ferris mower repaired in the unlikely event that a breakdown covered by this limited warranty should occur.
Owner's Responsibilities - As a condition to our obligations under this limited warranty, you shall have read the operator's manual and you shall have completed and submitted to Ferris, within 20 days from the date of purchase, the Ferris Product Registration. You must properly service and maintain your Ferris product as described in the operator's manual. Such routine maintenance, whether performed by a dealer or by you, is at your expense.
The Ferris equipment, including any defective part covered by this limited warranty, must be returned to an authorized Ferris dealer within the warranty period for warranty service. This limited warranty extends only to equipment operated under normal conditions and in accordance with Ferris' instruc- tions.
Warranty Start Date - The limited warranty coverage begins on the day you buy your new Ferris commercial mowing equipment. An authorized Ferris dealer will assist you in filling out a Ferris Product Registration with specific information for the model you purchase and your personal information, which must be returned to Ferris.
Limited Warranty - The limited warranty, set forth below, is a written guarantee by Ferris, during the warranty period, to repair or replace parts which have a substantial defect in materials or workmanship. The warranty is "limited" because it is for a specified period of time, applies to the original pur- chaser only, and is subject to other restrictions.
FERRIS LIMITED WARRANTY
Ferris Industries (Ferris) warrants, in accordance with the provisions below, to the original purchaser only, for the periods described below that the commercial mower shall be free from substantial defects in material or workmanship under normal use and service. If you wish to file a claim under this limited warranty, you must provide prompt notice of your claim to an authorized Ferris dealer during the warranty period. Ferris' obligation under this limited warranty is, at Ferris' option, to repair or replace any part or parts of the mower, which, in the judgment of Ferris, are found to be defective and covered by this limited warranty. An authorized Ferris dealer will repair or replace the defective part or parts, at the dealer's place of business, at no charge for the labor or parts. This limited warranty applies only to mowers sold in the United States and Canada and is subject to the following limi- tations.
