Warranty Repairs: If a repair or part is warrantable there will be no charge. If it is not warrantable or warranty decision is delayed, we will inform you at step 2. The manufacturer’s warranty varies from one product to the next, so it is important to read it. Manufacturer’s warranty normally ONLY covers defect in material and workmanship. Manufacturer’s Warranty does not cover customer related failures or normal wear, such as:
Fuel Related Problems – Old fuel, dirty fuel, improper type of fuel etc. (We recommend only ethanol free gasoline)
Wear Items – Some Examples: Spark plugs, belts, tires (including punctures), blades, scraper bars, skid shoes.
Damage or abuse – Often customers do not know that they are abusing their unit. This is not covered.
Please read your Warranty Statement and owner’s manual to see all the exceptions.
The customer will be responsible for the $45 minimum charge for the diagnosis if a warranty claim is questionable or delayed by the manufacturer. The customer will need to pay the invoice to pick it up their unit and the charge will be refunded to the customer if warranty is approved.
