PRM GEARBOXES
PRM Gearboxes are covered by a three year warranty for recreation users and two years for
commercial users.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Shire Engine alternator, starter motor and electrical components are subject to a limited one
year warranty.
FUEL SYSTEMS
Fuel injection and supply equipment including the injectors and pump(s) are subject to a
limited one year warranty.
It is a condition of the warranty that a separate water trap is fitted between the fuel tank and
the engine fuel lines (in addition to the filters fitted to the engine). The fuel tank should always
be kept clear of dirt, water and any other contamination. It is not recommended that the fuel
tank be run completely empty as this will induce air into the fuel system and can cause fuel
injection or starting system damage- which would not be covered by the warranty.
Upon installation the fuel system should be pressure or vacuum tested to ensure no leaks
are present. Poor quality fuel systems can cause engine fuel injection system damage which
is not covered by the warranty. The fuel system should be fully primed ahead of engine
starting- failure to do so can cause damage to the engine starting system and fuel system-
this damage is not covered by the warranty.
POOR QUALITY FUEL
Poor running (including smoking) engines that are being run (or have been run) on low quality
or contaminated fuel are not covered by the warranty. Any replacement parts that are
required as a consequence of using incorrect or low quality fuel are not covered by warranty.
Engine and fuel equipment is not covered by warranty if bio-diesel that does not comply with
EN15940 is used (See 5. Refuelling of Section 6
–
Operation).
Only fuel fully compliant with EN590 or EN15940 should be used in Shire Engines. Failure
to comply with this may invalidate the warranty.
