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 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.
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, 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

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.
