New Product Warranty

 

 

Silvan Australia Pty. Ltd. builds equipment to a high level of specification using components from quality 
suppliers. The following information is provided to assist you with any repairs required within the warranty 
period. All warranty repairs on Silvan products are carried out by Silvan dealers. If any warranty repairs 
are required on Silvan products, it is recommended that the product be returned to the place of purchase. 
It is good practice to keep a record of equipment maintenance both during and after the warranty period. 

The warranty policy below explains the extent and limitations of your Warranty coverage on Silvan 
Products. 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This warranty is the only warranty applicable to Silvan new products ('Products') and, to the 
maximum extent permitted by law, is expressly in lieu of any other conditions or warranties 
expressed or implied in relation to the Products. 
Subject only to legislative obligations to the contrary, Silvan shall not be liable for incidental or 
consequential damage resulting from ownership or use of a Product. Silvan does not authorize 
any person to create for it any other obligation or liability in connection with these products. 
 
Silvan warrants its authorised Dealer, who in turn warrants the original purchaser (owner) of each 
new Silvan product that it will repair or replace the product, or, pay the cost of repair or 
replacement, as determined by Silvan without charge for labour or any defective or malfunctioning 
parts in accordance with the warranty limitations and adjustment schedule below. 
 
The warranty period begins on the date the product is delivered to the first retail purchaser for a 
period of 12 months 
 
This Warranty Covers: Only conditions resulting directly from defects in workmanship or material 
under normal use and service. 
 

Warranty Exclusions: The Warranty does not cover: 

 

Conditions resulting from misuse, use of incompatible chemicals, exceeding machine 
specifications including overloading, impact damage, negligence, accidental damage or 
failure to perform recommended maintenance services. 

 

Any product which has been repaired by other than an authorised Silvan service outlet in 
a way which, in the sole and absolute judgement of Silvan, adversely affect its 
performance or reliability. 

 

The replacement of maintenance items such as diaphragms, batteries, V belts and 
ground engaging components, etc. 

 

Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the product, liability to third parties or any 
other consequential damages. 

 

Incidental costs associated with a warranty repair including any travel costs, out of hour’s 
labour charges, cleaning costs, transportation costs, freight costs or any communication 
costs. 

 

The repair of a defective product qualifying under this warranty will be performed by any 
authorised Silvan service outlet within a reasonable time following the delivery of the 
product, at the cost of the 

owner, to the service outlet’s place of business.  The product 

will be repaired or replaced, using new parts supplied by Silvan.  Silvan, at its absolute 
discretion, may choose to pay the cost of replacement or repair of the product. 

 
The owner is responsible for the performance of regular maintenance services as specified in the 
Owner/Operator Manual applicable to the product. Failure to carry out regular maintenance may 
invalidate warranty.
