Limited warranty

KUHN S.A. 4, Impasse des Fabriques, 67706 SAVERNE Cedex FRANCE (hereinafter called "the Company") 
warrants, in accordance with the provisions below, to each retail purchaser of a new KUHN equipment from an 
authorized KUHN dealer, that such equipment is, at the time of delivery to such purchaser, free from defects in 
material and workmanship, and that such equipment is covered under this Limited Warranty providing the 
machine is used and serviced in accordance with the recommendations in the Operator's manual.

This Limited Warranty covers the equipment for a period of one year starting from the date the  
equipment is delivered to the retail purchaser and during this period up to a limit of 500 hours of use.

The date of invoice to the retail purchaser and the registration of the machine by the dealer are taken as 
evidence of delivery of the machine. 

This Limited Warranty covers the reimbursement (or repair) of components as well as labor charges 
incurred, based on the Company warranty labor rate and allowable time for repair.

■  These conditions are subject to the following exceptions:

-  Parts of the machine which are not of KUHN manufacture, such as tires, PTO shafts, slip clutches, hydraulic 

cylinders, etc. are not covered by this Limited Warranty, but are subject to the warranty of the original 
manufacturer.

  Warranty claims applying to these types of parts must be submitted in the same way as if they were parts 

manufactured by KUHN. However, compensation will be paid in accordance with the warranty agreement of 
the manufacturer concerned, in as much as the latter justifies such a claim.

- This Limited Warranty does not apply to failure through normal wear and tear, to damage resulting from 

negligence or from lack of inspection, from misuse, from lack of maintenance and/or if the machine has been 
involved in an accident, lent out or used for purposes other than those for which it was intended by the 
Company.

-  This Limited Warranty will not apply to any product that has been altered or modified in any way without the 

express permission of the Company, or if parts and/or equipment not approved by Kuhn are used on a 
machine manufactured by the Company and/or if repairs have been carried out by anyone other than an 
authorized KUHN dealer.

-  The Company shall not be responsible for any damage to the machine or its equipment in transit or handling 

by any common carrier, within or without the Warranty period. Machines, equipment and parts are transported 
at owner’s risk.

-  The Company cannot be held responsible for any claims or injuries to the owner or to any third party, nor to 

any resulting responsibility.

-  Also, on no account can the Company be held liable for incidental or consequential damages (including loss 

of anticipated profits) or for any impairment due to a failure, a latent defect or a breakdown of the machine.

■  The customer will be responsible for and bear the costs of:

-  Normal maintenance such as greasing, maintenance of oil levels, minor adjustments, etc.
-  Dealer travel time, or travelling costs to and from the machine.
-  Transporting machines, equipment or parts to the repair site and returning them to the user site.
-  Parts defined as normal wearing items such as, but not limited to belts, blades, discs, knives, shares, tines, 

tine holders, slip clutches, etc. that are not covered by the Limited Warranty.
