LIMITED WARRANTY
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 major proprietry components ie. engines, gearbox / transaxle (where applicable) furnish their own warranty and services are provided through their authorised network. To qualify for the full benefit of the warranty, the warranty registration card must be returned within 14 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.
To qualify for the extended warranty (second and third year) of the three year limited warranty the machine must have annual services carried out by an Authorised Hayter Service Dealer. These chargeable services should be carried out within 12 and 24 months of the date of purchase.
Excluded from the extended warranty period are those items which are subject to normal wear and tear e.g. tyres, wheels, cutterblades, belts, cables, grassbags, brush/bristles, 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. Note: friction washers, blade brake clutch (B.B.C) units and other such devices are not applicable. Only machines fitted with a genuine Hayter friction disc, which are used in accordance with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures, are covered.
This warranty does not apply to any unit that has been tampered with, altered, misused, abused or used for hire, and will become invalid if non genuine Hayter parts are fitted. This warranty does not cover minor mechanical adjustments unless they are due to defective material or workmanship. Consult the Owner's Handbook or a Hayter Authorised Service Dealer for assistance when making these adjustments.
A warranty period of 90 days applies to machines used for commercial purposes.
To make a warranty claim, return the unit to a Hayter authorised dealer along with proof of purchase stating the machine serial number and date of purchase. The service receipt(s) or this Owners Handbook with the 1st/2nd year service boxes fully completed, must be produced as proof of entitlement to the extended warranty period.
