Shelbourne parts without the prior consent of Shelbourne.
4) wilful or accidental damage, including (but not limited to) damage caused by contact with
overhead power lines, damage caused by foreign objects (e.g., stones, metals, and any
materials other than vegetation).
5) the machine has not been maintained and serviced fully in accordance with the details and
maintenance schedule set out in the Shelbourne Operators Manual, and only using
Shelbourne genuine parts. Proof of service work may be requested prior to approval of any
claim under the Warranty.
6) failure due to use of incorrect oil or lubricants, contamination of the oil, or oil which has

instructions in the Shelbourne Operators Manual) for the transportation, storage,
commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the machine or (if there are none)
good trade practice regarding the same.
8) where the original purchaser has continued to use the machine after they became (or
should reasonably have become) aware of the defect with the machine. Continued use of
the machine after a defect is discovered could cause further failures for which Shelbourne

9) the Shelbourne serial number plate on the machine has been removed or altered.
10) failure by the customer to release the machine for repair will not be accepted as a reason
for delay in repair or submitting warranty claims.
11) the product is attached to, connected with, or used in conjunction with, any other product

Shelbourne product);
In addition, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that where the purchased Shelbourne
product is to be attached to a tractor or other vehicle, the product falls within the carrying capacity
as well as compatibility of the tractor or machinery which it is to be mounted on or to. Acceptance

the purchaser’s intended choice of tractor or machinery for installation, nor its compatibility with
the purchased Shelbourne product.

Shelbourne authorised dealer) during the Warranty Period, and within 15 days of discovery

of a defect, as long as the request by Shelbourne (or the Shelbourne authorised dealer) is
made within that time frame, otherwise, within a time frame as specified by Shelbourne (or
the Shelbourne authorised dealer).

defective parts or approve that the Shelbourne authorised dealer does the same.
5. REPAIR COSTS
The original purchaser or Shelbourne authorised dealer shall not repair, or arrange for a repair, of
the machine without the prior written authority of Shelbourne. Such authority may only be given by
Shelbourne service personnel. Shelbourne will not be liable for the cost of any repairs carried out
without its prior written consent to the work being done.
If Shelbourne authorises a repair of the machine, all claims for repair costs must be submitted to
Shelbourne by a Shelbourne authorised dealer within 15 days of the date of repair on a Shelbourne
Warranty Claim Form (in accordance with clause 7 of this warranty policy).
Repairs should only be completed by a Shelbourne authorised dealer (or another repairer with the
prior written consent of Shelbourne).
The submission of a claim is not a guarantee of payment. Shelbourne will only reimburse the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any repair. The decision reached by
Shelbourne is final.
6. DAMAGE TO NEW MACHINES
All goods must be examined on receipt, please examine all machines and packages, if there is any
damage or short shipment sign ‘Damaged’ or ‘Detail any item not received’ and notify both
Shelbourne Reynolds warranty department by phone or E Mail and the carrier within 24 hours of
any damage or missing parts. No claims will be accepted after this time.
Page 5 of 7 Warranty Policy (All Products) Issue 1 20/03/2023

MAN-
00000
7. CLAIMS PROCEEDURE
All claims must be submitted by a Shelbourne authorised dealer. Full information relating to the
failure must be submitted using the claim form available on the Shelbourne website under the
“Support” section, with all required fields completed with the relevant information and then
emailed to [e-mail]. Full information on warranty claim submission can be found
set out in the warranty procedures document.
Where repairs are completed by a Shelbourne authorised dealer (or another repairer with the prior
written consent of Shelbourne), then completed form(s) must be received by Shelbourne NOT
LATER THAN 15 DAYS from the date of repair. When requested by Shelbourne, additional
information or failed parts must be received by Shelbourne WITHIN 15 DAYS of claim submission.
If in exceptional circumstances a non-Shelbourne part is used for a repair, warranty reimbursement
will be at no more than Shelbourne’s standard dealer cost for the genuine part.
If parts are returned and the claim is subsequently rejected and you require the parts sent back to
you, please notify Shelbourne within 7 days of receiving rejection notification.
Following examination of the claim and parts, Shelbourne will pay at their discretion, for any valid
claim the invoiced cost of any parts supplied by Shelbourne and appropriate labour and mileage
allowances if applicable. Maximum mileage per claim is capped at 80 miles unless otherwise pre-
authorised and confirmed in writing by the Shelbourne Reynolds Service Manager.
For any claims submitted, which are intentionally misleading or fraudulent, Shelbourne shall be
entitled to charge an appropriate hourly rate to recover any costs incurred as a result.
8. FAILED PARTS
Ensure that all hydraulic ports on returned components are drained of oil and securely and
appropriately plugged with the caps that came fitted to the replacement components to avoid oil
leakage and contamination entering the assemblies. Hydraulic cylinders must be cleaned of oil and
fully retracted.
Electrical items being returned must be suitably packaged and protected to reduce the risk of
transportation damage.
Due to strict time constraints enforced by our suppliers, you must immediately return any failed
hydraulic components such as pumps, motors, cylinders, valves, and hoses; electrical components,
such as solenoid valves, control boxes, sensors/switches; or driveline components such as
gearboxes, PTOs, and bearings if the machine is still within its relevant warranty period.
Hydraulic parts such as pumps, motors and cylinders, and driveline parts such as gearboxes must be
returned to us unopened and unexamined. With hydraulic valve blocks and electrical control boxes
there is the ability to replace specific serviceable components within them, such as valve cartridges,
spool assemblies, circuit boards, relays, switches, and joystick should the need arise to resolve a
fault within.
Any parts replaced under warranty remain the property of Shelbourne. They must be returned to
Shelbourne on request. In all other cases, unless informed otherwise, they must be retained for a
period of 90 days after such time they must be destroyed and rendered physically unusable and not
sold or reconditioned for sale to a third party.

ORDERING SPARE PARTS
To ensure that you order the correct part from your SRE dealer please use the
following procedure.
ALWAYS QUOTE THE MACHINE AND SERIAL NUMBERS WHEN ORDERING.
Refer to the Parts Manuals front page/s, listing the machine assemblies. Select the
correct machine assembly number which is printed in the top left corner of the page
(starting with 8099_ _ 01), this machine number is listed above or can be taken off
the Powerblade identification plate.
Looking down the page, select the relevant sub assembly that your required part
falls within. Sub-assemblies start from 8090_ _ 01. Note the year or serial number
of the machine may determine a correct sub assembly if more than one is listed.
Continue through the manual and find the relevant sub assembly parts listing. Again
the number will be printed in the top left corner; the sub-assemblies are in numerical
order.
Having found the correct parts list, you will find the corresponding drawing by either
looking at the facing page or progressing through the manual to the next drawing.
The drawings indicate the components by item numbers, which you will find, are
repeated in the left-hand side of your parts listing, and therefore referring to the
correct part.
Note all parts will not be found from the sub-assemblies listed below the machine
number. Other parts could be from specific optional kits. These kits will be found in
numerical order further through the manual and start with KIT- _ _ _ _ _.
The list on the following pages highlights the optional build kits that also
make up your exact configuration of machine.
