coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for the failure to ensure the performance 
of all scheduled maintenance.
Normal maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and 
systems may be performed by any repair establishment or individual; however, 
warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/
service center. 
The engine/equipment must be presented to an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/
service center as soon as a problem exists. Contact Wacker Neuson Product 
Support Department (1-800-770-0957) or visit wackerneuson.com to find a dealer/
service center in your area, or to answer questions regarding warranty rights and 
responsibilities. 

How to Make a Claim

In the event that any emission-related part is found to be defective during the 
warranty period, you shall notify Wacker Neuson Product Support Department (1-
800-770-0957), and you will be advised of the appropriate dealer/service center 
where warranty repair can be performed. All repairs qualifying under this limited 
warranty must be performed by an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/service 
center.
You must take your Wacker Neuson engine/equipment along with proof of original 
purchase date, at your expense, to the authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/service 
center during their normal business hours. 
For owners located more than 100 miles from an authorized dealer/service center 
(excluding the states with high-altitude areas as identified in 40 CFR Part 1068, 
Appendix III), Wacker Neuson will pay for pre-approved shipping costs to and from 
an authorized Wacker Neuson dealer/service center.
Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or 
workmanship will not be denied because the engine/equipment was not properly 
maintained and used.
The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to 
exceed 30 days.
