authorized Bush Hog dealer during regular working hours. Bush Hog reserves the right to inspect any equip-
ment or parts which are claimed to have been defective in material or workmanship.

DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES & CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

Bush Hog’s obligation under this limited warranty, to the extent allowed by law, is in lieu of all war-

ranties, implied or expressed, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS

approved by Bush Hog; duty; taxes; charges for normal service or adjustment; loss of crops or any other loss of
income; rental of substitute equipment, expenses due to loss, damage, detention or delay in the delivery of

pickup and delivery.

2. To vendor items which carry their own warranties, such as engines, batteries, tires, and tubes.

3. If the unit has been subjected to misapplication, abuse, misuse, negligence, fire or other accident.

4. If parts not made or supplied by Bush Hog have been used in connection with the unit, if, in the sole judge-

5. If the unit has been altered or repaired outside of an authorized Bush Hog dealership in a manner

which, in the sole judgement of Bush Hog, affects its performance, stability or reliability.

6. To normal maintenance service and normal replacement items such as gearbox lubricant, hydraulic fluid, 

worn blades, or to normal deterioration of such things as belts and exterior finish due to use or 
exposure.

7. To expendable or wear items such as teeth, chains, sprockets, belts, springs and any other items that in the

company’s sole judgement is a wear item.
