General
Most warrantable failures show up within the first few weeks of use. These failures are usually
straightforward and warranty assessment is relatively easy.
Failures relating to cutter decks and belts need careful investigation, as the cause may not
always be straightforward. Look for damage to blades and pulleys especially when the
cutter belt or blade boss have snapped or cracked as this could be due to impact damage.
Customers should always refer to the operator/instruction manual when any disputed
problem arises, you will find most areas covered within the manual.
