WARRANTY OF BARRETO MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
Barreto Manufacturing, Inc. warrants all BARRETO equipment to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year, dating from delivery to the original user.
This Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, whether written or implied, and is limited to:
Replacement of parts returned to the dealer and/or factory and determined defective upon inspection.
(Replacement for parts to dealers shall be at dealer cost plus shipping charges.)
Time for pick-up and/or delivery, transportation or service calls by dealers is excluded. Manufacturer
reserves the right to determine reasonable time required for repair. Warranty does not apply to
damage caused by abuse or neglect. Time and materials required for normal maintenance and service
are also excluded from warranty coverage.
Engines, engine accessories, batteries and tires are warranted by the original manufacturers
and are not covered by the Barreto Equipment Warranty.
Wear parts such as tiller tines,
sprockets, bearings, trencher chain parts including teeth, stump grinder cutting teeth & holders, etc.
are also excluded unless it can be determined that a defect has contributed to premature wear.
MAINTENANCE PREPARATION
Only trained & qualified personnel should perform maintenance or repairs of the trencher. Before
performing any service, maintenance, adjustments, repairs, or off-season long-term storage, follow
the SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE in the OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
Do not touch the engine, muffler, or any of the hydraulic components until cool.
WARNING
: Muffler and engine get hot enough to cause serious burns.
For the safety of yourself and others, allow enough time for the engine,
muffler, and the hydraulic fluid to cool completely before performing any
cleaning or maintenance.
Avoid contact with hydraulic fluid.
WARNING
: When machine is operating, hydraulic fluid is under extreme pressure and can
get under skin and burn or poison.
If you need to lower the dig chain boom without power, do the following:
1.
Position a pan under the trencher to catch hydraulic fluid.
2. Support the boom front end with a hoist or forklift.
WARNING
: The boom with dig chain is heavy. Manpower alone is not recommended, but if
necessary, use a team of two strong workers to support the boom, and a third worker to loosen
the hose.
3.
Loosen the hose at the rod end (front) port of the boom cylinder and lower the boom.
4. If it still will not lower, then loosen the hose at the back end port of the boom cylinder.
