To make a claim under warranty, contact an authorized Ransomes dealer immediately upon realizing a problem exists.
We recommend having the warranty work performed by the dealer who originally sold you the unit; however, warranty
work can be sought from any authorized Ransomes dealer. Remember, your Ransomes unit must be delivered to an
authorized Ransomes dealer within the warranty period, and all warranty work must be performed only by an authorized
Ransomes dealer. Proof of purchase will be required by the dealer to substantiate any warranty claim.
EXAMPLES OF ITEMS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
Provisions of the warranty will not apply to:
– Normal service requirements arising during the warranty period, such as carburetor or ignition adjustment and
cleaning or wear of a drive belt, brake, clutch linings or starter brushes.
– Normal service work over and above the repair and replacement of defective parts.
– Units subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, or accident.
– Units that have been altered or modified so as to adversely affect their operation, performance or durability or to
change their intended use.
– Repairs made necessary by the use of parts or accessories which are either incompatible with the unit or adversely
affects the operation, performance or durability.
– Units not operated or maintained in accordance with the instructions in the Ransomes Operator’s Manual.
– Normal cleaning, adjusting or replacing of such items as filter, spark plugs, ignition points, light bulbs, fuses or
starter drive.
– Periodic checking or adding of lubricants to the unit or service check-up, tune-up or diagnosis.
Expense of delivering the unit to the dealer and expense of returning the unit back to the owner, mechanic’s
travel time, trailering or towing charges, or rental of a like unit during the time warranty repairs are being
performed.
Engines, tires, batteries, regulators and starter-generators manufactured by other than Ransomes are not
covered under this warranty as such parts are usually warranted by their respective manufacturers.
This warranty applies only to the original retail purchaser. Second-owner or subsequently owned units are
not covered under warranty.
OWNER’S OBLIGATION AND RESPONSIBILITY
Normal maintenance service and replacement of service items are the responsibility of the owner and as such are not
considered defects in material or workmanship within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage
contribute to the need for maintenance service.
See your Ransomes dealer for proper maintenance and care of your unit. Proper maintenance and care will assist in
keeping your overall operating cost at a minimum.
To validate a warranty claim, it is the owner’s responsibility to maintain all components in proper adjustment and service
the unit as specified in the Ransomes Operator’s Manual. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide proper lubrication for
all components and provide correct recommended fuel for the unit. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the battery
liquid level and charge as specified, as well as maintaining the correct pressure in the unit’s tires.
