To make a claim under warranty, contact an authorized Ransomes/Cushman/Ryan dealer immediately upon realizing
a problem exists. We recommend having the warranty work performed by the dealer who originally sold you the unit;
however, warranty work can be sought from any authorized Ransomes/Cushman/Ryan dealer. Remember, your
Ransomes/Cushman/Ryan unit must be delivered to an authorized Ransomes/Cushman/Ryan dealer within the
warranty period, and all warranty work must be performed only by an authorized Ransomes/Cushman/Ryan dealer.
Proof of purchase will be required by the dealer to substantiate any warranty claim.
