WARRANTY PROVISION

Should an operating fault occur, and the Trouble Shooting Guide couldn't help fix the problem, 
there are two options;

Option 1: 

Contact the Helpline

The Helpline operates between the hours of 09:00  17:00, Monday to Friday 
Number is 0208 391 6767 or [email protected]
Our Helpline staff will recommend a course 
of action. 

Option 2:

Contact your local HSS Shop or Agent

The number of your local branch can usually 
be found in the Telephone Directory or Internet. Web Site: http://www.hss.co.uk
HSS are the Service Agents for our range of Petrol Gardening Machines.

Should a problem be identified as a Warranty problem (within 12 months of purchase), and the 
machine requires some repair or adjustment, all you have to do is take the unit to the HSS 
Store and they will do the rest. Once the fault has been remedied, HSS will call you directly to 
arrange for you to collect the machine. Typically, this will take no more than 2 weeks.
