The two-year duration of this warranty applies only if the product is put to ordinary,

any business, commercial, or industrial use, such as, but not limited to, commercial

or agricultural or farmstead use, then the duration of this warranty is ninety (90) days  
after the date of purchase, or one (1) year after the date of purchase for the Pro 21  
Mower. If any product is rented or leased, then the duration of this warranty is ninety  
(90) days after date of purchase.  
Genuine Gravely service parts and accessories not purchased with the product  
covered by this warranty, but which are later purchased and used with that product,  
are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of  
ninety (90) days after date of purchase, and Gravely will repair or replace any such  
part or accessory free of charge, except for labor, during that period.  
This warranty is subject to the following exceptions, conditions, and limitations:  
This warranty is valid only if the following conditions  
are met:  
The following items are not covered by this warranty:  
Engines and engine accessories are covered only by the  
warranty made by the engine manufacturer, and are not  
covered by this warranty.  
The purchaser must perform maintenance and minor  
adjustments explained in the owners manual.  
The purchaser must promptly notify Gravely or an authorized  
Gravely service representative of the need for warranty  
service.  
If the product is equipped with a Peerless gearbox and/or  
transmission, the gearbox and/or transmission are covered  
only by the warranty made by Peerless, and are not covered  
by this warranty.  
If the product is equipped with a Hydro-Gear transmission  
and/or Hydro-Gear drive components, the Hydro-Gear  
transmission and/or drive components are covered only  
by the warranty made by Hydro-Gear, and are not covered  
by this warranty.  
Service work performed by, and parts installed by, someone

Parts that are not genuine Gravely service parts are not  
covered by this warranty.  
Shoes, runners, scraper blades, shear bolts, mower blades,

covered by this warranty.  
Any defect which is the result of misuse, alteration, improper

covered by this warranty.  
Products which were not purchased in the United States,  
Puerto Rico, or Canada are not covered by this warranty.  
In all other countries, contact place of purchase.  
Returning the product registration card to Gravely will

period is more than ninety (90) days, Gravely will cover  
the prorated cost of any defective battery, for up to twelve

LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND DAMAGES  
DISCLAIMER OF FURTHER WARRANTY  
Gravelys liability under this express warranty, and under any  
implied warranty that may exist, is limited to repair or  
replacement of any defective part. Gravely shall not be liable  
for incidental, special, or consequential damages (including  
lost profits). Some states do not allow the exclusion of  
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation  
or exclusion may not apply to you.  
Gravely makes no warranty, express or implied,  
other than what is expressly made in this  
warranty. If the law of your state provides that  
an implied warranty of merchantability, or an  
implied warranty of fitness for particular  
purpose, or any other implied warranty, applies  
to Gravely, then any such implied warranty is  
limited to the duration of this warranty. Some  
states do not allow limitations on how long an  
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation  
may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other  
rights which vary from state to state.
