Warranty Service
Owner Satisfaction
Your satisfaction and good will are important to your dealer and to us.
Normally, any problems concerning the product will be handled by our dealer’s service department.
If you have a warranty problem that has not been handled to your satisfaction, we suggest you take the follow-
ing action:
• Discuss your problem with a member of dealership management. Often complaints can be quickly resolved
at that level. If the problem has already been reviewed with the Service Manager, contact the owner of the
dealership or the General Manager.
• If you problem still has not been resolved to your satisfaction, contact your Yanmar local Subsidiary Com-
pany. (See the back cover of this manual)
We will need the following information in order to assist you:
• Your name, address and telephone number
• Product model and serial number
• Date of purchase
• Dealer name and address
• Nature of problem
After reviewing all the facts involved, you will be advised of what action can be taken.
Please bear in mind that your problem will likely be resolved at the dealership, using the dealer’s facilities,
equipment and personnel, so it is very important that your initial contact be with the dealer.
