4 Damages due to overheating or to speeds that are out of specifications. Usually an engine overheats or falls when
its cooling and revolution regulation systems become clogged with grass, dust and dirt in general. Therefore it is
necessary to clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and head, the flywheel and the adjustment linkage.
5. Damages and wear due to dust. These are caused by dust reaching the engine as a result of inadequate or
incorrect air filter maintenance. Replace air filters regularly.
Follow the instructions provided for each type of air filter.
6. Damages or loss of parts due to untightened engine nuts and bolts.
7. Engine tune-up or adjustment are not covered by warranty unless they become necessary following servicing
performed under warrant. If the machine is assembled by the Customer, the operating and maintenance instructions
provided in the manual are sufficient to allow anyone to be able to perform the small number of adjustments that
may be required.
These are not covered by warranty.
8. Parts broken as a result of excessive vibrations due to the inadequate fastening of engine to machine, to a
loosened or unbalanced blade, to the engine being unsuitably connected to the equipment, to off-speed engines or
to their excessive and/or improper use.
9. The repairing or adjustment of parts or assemblies such as: clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., that are
not produced by Tecumseh Europe.
10.Spare parts and/or accessories that are not original, or those not approved by Tecumseh Europe.
NORMAL WEAR
The repairing of parts or engines that have become worn through normal operation is not covered by warranty. Like
any mechanical device, to operate correctly, engines require routine maintenance, replacements and repairing of
parts.
It is necessary to remember that tillers, land aerators and lawnmowers are very often used in particularly dusty and
dirty environments. These conditions require more frequent maintenance operations and checks and may cause what
could be considered early wear. Such wear, caused by the penetration of dust or dirt inside the engine as a result of
incorrect maintenance, is not covered by warranty.
WARRANTY MANAGEMENT
If, after performing checks, the Authorized Servicing Centre verifies the presence of defects in the material or
assembly, it must fill out the request for warranty servicing in four copies and have each copy signed by the Customer
or by the person who has notified the defect. The repairer must completely fill out the form following the instructions
provided below.
The Authorized Servicing Centre must perform small or medium repair work immediately. Defective parts must be
kept at the disposal of Tecumseh Europe Turin until the file has been defined. Once the repair has been made, the
duly filled out request for warranty, and the blue, white and pink copies, must be sent to the Centralized Dealer or to
Tecumseh Europe Turin.
The Authorized Servicing Centres and other warranty repair locations must promptly forward the service forms
directly to their spare parts supplier.
The forms received periodically will be examined promptly and divided into:
-
forms for which warranty servicing is approved: in this case, Tecumseh Europe will calculate the cost of
repairs, as specified below, and will request the Authorized Servicing Centre to issue a normal invoice;
-
forms whose main parts have been filled out incorrectly and/or incompletely: in this case, Tecumseh Europe
reserves the right to refuse requests, especially those in which it is impossible to verify the type of defect being
reported.
REFUNDING OF WARRANTY
The warranty will be refunded according to the rules specified below:
a) The prices for replaced parts will be calculated on the basis of the price list in force at the time of the net adjustment
of the specific discount granted to the various Authorized Servicing Centres. The overall amount calculated will
undergo the following price increases for warranty management expenses:
15%, if parts parts have been replaced
7.5%, if the repair involves replacements using new engines, short block, miniblocks and transmissions.
b) Labor expenses will be paid applying the price schedule currently in force. The resulting times will be paid by
applying the fees that are notified annually in writing by TECUMSEH EUROPE TURIN.
TECUMSEH EUROPE will not acknowledge any other expenses except those for parts replacement and
labor, as per the SCHEDULE.
