Warranty - 47
WARRANTY
Warranty Service And Charges
Warranty service shall be provided during customary business hours at
any authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment
Retailer located within the United States of America. Repair or
replacement of any warranted part will be performed at no charge to the
owner, including diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a
warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed at an
authorized John Deere Commercial and Consumer Equipment Retailer.
Any parts replaced under this warranty shall become the property of John
Deere.
Maintenance Warranty Coverage
a) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance must be warranted as to defects for the warranty period. Any
such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for
the remaining warranty period.
b) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection to the
effect of “repair or replace as necessary” must be warranted as to defects
for the warranty period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
c) Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance must be warranted as to defects only for the period of time
up to the first scheduled replacement for that part. Any such part repaired
or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the
period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
d) Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices
and systems, which are being done at the customers expense, may be
performed by any repair establishment or individual; however, warranty
repairs must be performed by an authorized John Deere Commercial and
Consumer Equipment Retailer.
e) Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance and durability
may be used in the performance of any non-warranty maintenance or
repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of John Deere.
Consequential Warranty Coverage
Warranty coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components
caused by the failure of any warranted part still under warranty.
Limitations
This Emission Control System Warranty shall NOT cover any of the
following:
a) Repair or replacement required as a result of (i) misuse or neglect, (ii)
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, (iii) repairs
improperly performed or replacements improperly installed, (iv) use of
replacement parts or accessories not conforming to John Deere
specifications which adversely affect performance and/or durability, (v)
alterations or modifications not recommended or approved in writing by
John Deere.
b) Replacement parts, other services and adjustments necessary for
normal maintenance.
c) Transportation to and from the John Deere Commercial and Consumer
Equipment Retailer, or service calls made by the Retailer.
Limited Liability
a) The liability of John Deere under this Emission Control System
Warranty is limited solely to the remedying of defects in materials or
workmanship. This warranty does not cover inconvenience or loss of use
of the small off-road equipment engine or transportation of the engine to
or from the John Deere Commercial And Consumer Equipment Retailer.
JOHN DEERE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER EXPENSE,
LOSS, OR DAMAGE, WHETHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL (EXCEPT AS LISTED ABOVE UNDER
“COVERAGE”) OR EXEMPLARY ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SALE OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SMALL OFF-ROAD
EQUIPMENT ENGINE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
b) NO EXPRESS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY IS
GIVEN BY JOHN DEERE WITH RESPECT TO THE ENGINE EXCEPT
AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS
DOCUMENT.
c) No dealer is authorized to modify this Federal, California and John
Deere Emission Control System Warranty.
Limited Battery Warranty
NOTE: Applicable in North America only.
TO SECURE WARRANTY SERVICE
The purchaser must request warranty service from a John Deere dealer
authorized to sell John Deere batteries, and present the battery to the
dealer with the top cover plate codes intact.
FREE REPLACEMENT
Any new battery which becomes unserviceable (not merely discharged)
due to defects in material or workmanship within 90 days of purchase will
be replaced free of charge. Installation costs will be covered by warranty if
(1) the unserviceable battery was installed by a John Deere factory or
dealer, (2) failure occurs within 90 days of purchase, and (3) the
replacement battery is installed by a John Deere dealer.
PRO RATA ADJUSTMENT
Any new battery which becomes unserviceable (not merely discharged)
due to defects in material or workmanship more than 90 days after
purchase, but before the expiration of the applicable adjustment period,
will be replaced upon payment of the battery’s current list price less a pro
rata credit for unused months of service. The applicable adjustment period
is determined from the Warranty Code printed at the top of the battery and
chart below. Installation costs are not covered by warranty after 90 days
from the date of purchase.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
A. Breakage of the container, cover, or terminals.
B. Depreciation or damage caused by lack of reasonable and necessary
maintenance or by improper maintenance.
C. Transportation, mailing, or service call charges for warranty service.
LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND PURCHASER’S
REMEDIES
To the extent permitted by law, neither John Deere nor any company
affiliated with it makes any warranties, representations, or promises as to
the quality, performance or freedom from defect of the products covered
by this warranty. IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE APPLICABLE
ADJUSTMENT PERIOD SET FORTH HERE. THE PURCHASER’S ONLY

PERFORMANCE OF ANY WARRANTY ON JOHN DEERE BATTERIES
ARE THOSE SET FORTH HERE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEALER,
JOHN DEERE OR ANY COMPANY AFFILIATED WITH JOHN DEERE BE
LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. (Note:
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts
or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So
these limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.) This warranty gives
