Hayter Limited warrants to the original user/purchaser that this unit shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from the date of purchase. The manufacturer of the engines furnish their own warranty and services are provided through their authorised network (Refer to "Engine Warranty Statement"). To qualify for the full benefit of the warranty, the warranty registration card must be returned within 60 days of purchase. Subject to the conditions and exclusions noted in this limited warranty, we shall at our option, repair or replace any warranted part during the applicable period. If you are in doubt or experience any difficulty, please consult a Hayter Authorised Service Dealer for clarification.

Excluded from the extended warranty period are those items which are subject to normal wear and tear e.g. tyres, wheels, cutterblades, cables, batteries and other consumable wearing parts.

All consumer machines which are fitted with a genuine Hayter friction disc as original equipment before use, are covered by a Lifetime Warranty against the engine crankshaft bending.
