IMPORTANT
VERIFICATION OF WARRANTY REGISTRATION
DEALER WARRANTY INFORMATION & REGISTRATION VERIFICATION
It is imperative that the selling dealer registers this machine with McConnel Limited before
delivery to the end user –failure to do so may affect the validity of the machine warranty.
To register machines go to the McConnel Limited web site at www.mcconnel.com, log
onto ‘Dealer Inside’ and select the ‘Machine Registration button’which can be found in
the Service Section of the site. Confirm to the customer that the machine has been
registered in the section below.
Should you experience any problems registering a machine in this manner please contact
the McConnel Service Department on 01584 875848.

NOTE TO CUSTOMER / OWNER
Please ensure that the above section above has been completed and signed by the selling
dealer to verify that your machine has been registered with McConnel Limited.
IMPORTANT: During the initial ‘bedding in’ period of a new machine it is the customer’s responsibility
to regularly inspect all nuts, bolts and hose connections for tightness and re-tighten if required. New
hydraulic connections occasionally weep small amounts of oil as the seals and joints settle in –where
this occurs it can be cured by re-tightening the connection –refer to torque settings chart below. The
tasks stated above should be performed on an hourly basis during the first day of work and at least
daily thereafter as part of the machines general maintenance procedure.
