• the product/part has not been maintained in accordance with the maintenance
instructions stated in the user manual;
• non-original parts have been used;
• the original type plate is no longer attached to the product;

final.
8.3. Warranty procedure
If a defect is identified in a product or part and it needs to be sent to the
manufacturer, the dealer must fill in the returns form in full. The returns form will
be used as the guiding document for the whole warranty procedure.
Procedure for making claims under the warranty:
• If a product/part becomes defective or needs to be repaired or replaced, the
user should contact his/her local dealer. The dealer can then make a claim
under the warranty if required.
• On identifying the defect, the dealer informs the manufacturer immediately,
providing full information relating to the nature of the defect affecting the
product/part supplied by the manufacturer;
• If it is possible for the warranty claim to be dealt with by telephone or e-mail
and the manufacturer deems the warranty claim to be legitimate, the dealer
and the manufacturer consult with each other to determine whether the
manufacturer will send a replacement product or part to the dealer free of
charge. In such cases, the dealer must
• destroy the defective product/part on the instructions of the manufacturer.
• Alternatively, the defective product/part must be returned to the
manufacturer. In the case of a return, the manufacturer shall be responsible
for arranging and paying for transport;
• If it is not possible to deal with a warranty claim by telephone or e-mail, the
dealer and the manufacturer consult with each other to determine:
• whether the dealer should send the defective product/part back to the
manufacturer. The manufacturer then assesses the product/part in
question. If the manufacturer deems the claim to be justified, the product
or part is repaired and/or replaced. The costs for returning the product/part
to the dealer are to be borne by the dealer;
