The Toro Starting Guarantee
A Five-Year Full Warranty on All
Toro GTS

-5 Engines
Conditions and Products Covered
The Toro Company and its affiliate, Toro Warranty Company,
pursuant to an agreement between them, jointly guarantee that
your Toro Engine will start on the first or second pull for five years
from the date of purchase—if you provide the routine maintenance
it requires—or we will fix it free of charge. This warranty covers the
cost of parts and labor, but you must pay transportation costs. This
covers Toro rotary mower and snow product engines.
Instructions for Obtaining Warranty Service
If a normal, able-bodied adult can no longer start your product’s
engine in one or two pulls, follow this procedure:
1. Contact any Toro Authorized or Master Service Dealer to
arrange service at their dealership. To locate a dealer
convenient to you, refer to the Yellow Pages of your telephone
directory (look under “Lawn Mowers”) or access our website at
www.Toro.com. U.S. Customers may also call 800-421-9684
to use our 24-hour Toro dealer locator system.
2. Bring the product, your maintenance records, and your proof of
purchase (sales receipt) to the Service Dealer.
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the Service Dealer’s
analysis or with the assistance provided, contact us at:

Coverage Guarantee and special emission system coverage on
some products. This warranty does not cover the following:
• Any repairs on products used commercially
• Normal maintenance including replacement of spark plugs, air
filter, fuel filter, and carburetor adjustments
