HOTSY LIMITED NEW PRODUCT WARRANTY

PRESSURE WASHERS

WHAT  THIS  WARRANTY  COVERS

All Hotsy pressure washers are warranted by Hotsy to the original purchaser to be free from defects in materials and work-
manship under normal use, for the periods specified below. This Limited Warranty is subject to the exclusions shown below, 
is calculated from the date of the original purchase, and applies to the original components only. Any parts replaced under 
this warranty will assume the remainder of the part’s warranty period.

SEVEN YEAR  PARTS  AND  ONE  YEAR  LABOR  WARRANTY:

Components manufactured by Hotsy, such as frames, handles, top and bottom wraps, float tanks, fuel tanks, belt guards, and 
internal components on the oil-end of HOTSY manufactured pumps.  General, AR, Liberty, Comet  and swash and wobble 
plate pumps have a one year warranty. Heating coils have a five year warranty from date of original machine purchase.

ONE  YEAR  PARTS  AND  ONE  YEAR  LABOR  WARRANTY:

All other components, excluding normal wear items as described below, will be warranted for one year on parts and 
labor.  Parts and labor warranty on these parts will be for one year regardless of the duration of the original component 
manufacturer’s part warranty.

WARRANTY  PROVIDED  BY  OTHER  MANUFACTURERS:

Motors, generators, and engines, which are warranted by their respective manufacturers, are serviced through these manu-
facturers’ local authorized service centers. Hotsy is not authorized and has no responsibility to provide warranty service 
for such components.

WHAT  THIS  WARRANTY  DOES  NOT  COVER

This warranty does not cover the following items:

1. 

Normal wear items, such as nozzles, spray guns, discharge hoses, wands, quick couplers, seals, filters, gaskets,  
O-rings, packings, pistons, pump valve assemblies, strainers, belts, brushes, relief valves, fuses, pump protec -
tors.

2. 

Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, incorrect installation, improper 
servicing, failure to follow manufacturer’s maintenance instructions, or use of the equipment beyond its stated us-
age specifications as contained in the operator’s manual.

3. 

Damage due to freezing, chemical deterioration, scale build up, rust, corrosion, or thermal expansion.

4. 

Damage to components from fluctuations in electrical or water supply.

5. 

Normal maintenance service, including adjustments, fuel system cleaning, and clearing of obstructions.

6. 

Transportation to service center, field labor charges, or freight damage.

WHAT  YOU  MUST  DO  TO  OBTAIN  WARRANTY  SERVICE

In order to obtain warranty service on items warranted by Hotsy, you must return the product to your Authorized Hotsy 
Distributor, freight prepaid, with proof of purchase, within the applicable warranty period. If the product is permanently 
installed, you must notify your Authorized Hotsy Distributor of the defect. Your Authorized Hotsy Distributor will file a claim 
with Hotsy, who must subsequently verify the defect. In most cases, the part must be returned to Hotsy freight prepaid 
with the claim. For warranty service on components warranted by other manufacturer’s, your Authorized Hotsy Distributor 
can help you obtain warranty service through these manufacturers’ local authorized service centers.

 

LIMITATION  OF  LIABILITY

Hotsy’s liability for special, incidental, or consequential damages is expressly disclaimed. In no event shall Hotsy’s liability 
exceed the purchase price of the product in question. Hotsy makes every effort to ensure that all illustrations and specifica-
tions are correct, however, these do not imply a warranty that the product is merchantable or fit for a particular purpose, or 
that the product will actually conform to the illustrations and specifications. Our obligation under this warranty is expressly 
limited at our option to the replacement or repair at a service facility or factory designated by us, of such part or parts as 
inspection shall disclose to have neen defective.

 THE WARRANTY CONTAINED HEREIN IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER 

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCANTABILITY OR FITNESS 
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.

 

Hotsy does not authorize any other party, including authorized Hotsy Distributors, to make any representation or  promise 
on behalf of Hotsy, or to modify the terms, conditions, or limitations in any way. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that 
the installation and use of Hotsy products conforms to local codes. While Hotsy attempts to assure that  its products meet 
national codes, it cannot be responsible for how the customer chooses to use or install the product. Some states do not al-
low limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, 
so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also 
have other rights which vary from state to state.
