1.2 WARRANTY
The Manufacturer guarantees brand new products for a pe-
riod of 12 (twelve) months from the date of delivery. When
the machine is delivered, make sure that both it and the
accessories are complete and in a perfect condition. Com-
plaints should be presented in writing within 8 (eight) days
from receipt of the machine. The warranty merely covers
the repair or replacement, free of charge, of those parts
which, after thorough examination by the Manufacturer, are
recognized as being defective (with the exclusion of tines).
Expenses concerning replacement of lubricants, transport
costs, customs duties and VAT remain at the purchaser's
charge in any case. Replacement or repair of parts under
guarantee shall in no case extend the warranty terms. The
Manufacturer will not accept returned goods without prior
written authorization. The purchaser shall only be able to

• When the damage can be ascribed to insufficient main-
tenance.
• When, following repairs made by the user without the
Manufacturer's consent or owing to the installation of
spurious spare parts, the machine has been subjected
to changes and the damage is ascribable to these chan-
ges.
• When the machine has been hitched to tractors whose
power rating exceeds the value given in the "2.6 Techni-
cal specifications" table in this manual.

in this manual. Damage deriving from negligence, care-
lessness, bad and improper use of the machine or in-
correct manoeuvres by the operator are also excluded
from the warranty. Removal of the safety devices with
which the machine is equipped shall automatically void
the warranty and relieve the Manufacturer from all rela-
tive liability. The warranty also becomes void if spurious
spare parts are used.
Even when covered by the warranty, the machine must be
returned Carriage Free.
