Important Information

Warranty Policy

Croplands Equipment Pty Ltd (trading as Croplands) warrants to its authorised Dealer, who in turn, warrants to the
original purchaser (Owner) that each new Croplands’ sprayer, part or accessory will be free from proven defects
in material and workmanship for twelve (12) months from the date of delivery to the fi rst Owner according to the
conditions outlined. This warranty does not cover damages resulting from abuse, accidents, alterations, normal
wear or failure to maintain or use the Croplands product with due care.

During the warranty period, the authorised Croplands Dealer shall repair or replace, at Croplands option, without
charge for parts and labour any part of the Croplands product, which fails because of defects in material or
workmanship. The Owner must provide the authorised Dealer with prompt written notice of the defect (within 14
days of its occurrence), and allow reasonable time for replacement or repair. Repair may, at Croplands option,
include the replacement of parts with functionally equivalent reconditioned or new parts. Replacement parts will
be warranted for the balance of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days, which ever is longer. Croplands
(at its option) may request failed parts to be returned to the factory. Any travel time of a service technician and/or
transportation of the Croplands product to the authorised servicing Dealer for warranty work are the responsibility
of the Owner.

EXCLUSIVE EFFECT OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF
ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PURPOSE OR OTHER REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. The remedies of the Owner set forth herein are
exclusive. CROPLANDS neither assumes nor authorises any person to assume for it any other obligation or liability in
connection with the sale of covered machines. Correction of defects, in the manner and for applicable period of time
provided above, shall constitute fulfi llment of all responsibilities of CROPLANDS to the Owner, and CROPLANDS
shall not be liable for negligence under contract or in any manner with respect to such machines. IN NO EVENT
SHALL THE OWNER BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF CROPS, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, OTHER
COMMERCIAL LOSSES, INCONVENIENCE OR COST OF RENTAL OR REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT.

Conditions of Warranty

1. The warranty is not transferable.

2. The Warranty Registration Form must be returned to Croplands by the Owner Operator within 14 days of taking

Unauthorised Repairs

Failure resulting from neglect, such as improper operation, lack of required
maintenance or continued use of a sprayer after the discovery of a defect which
results in greater damage to the unit.

Deteriorated or failed components such as: diaphragms, O-rings, hoses, seals,
electrical wiring and connections damaged by corrosive chemicals, dirt and
sand, excessive heat or moisture. Owners should en sure the type and strength
of chemicals used in the sprayer are compatible with the design of the unit.

Warranty determination for these types of failures will be made by Croplands
only after inspection of failed components. In most instances these will incur
inspection charges and cost of replacement parts.

Normal wear and consumable items such as: oils and lubricants, diaphragms,
fi lter elements, fl owmeters, clutches, fan belts, drive belts, pivot pins, paint,
light bulbs and nozzles are considered to be normal wear items and are not
warranted.

Component failure caused by not performing scheduled maintenance service
such as: oils, grease, failure to clean tanks, pumps, fi lters, spray lines, nozzles
or any other blocked components. Not tightening or replacing loose or missing
bolts, nuts, fi ttings, shields and covers.

Damages or machine failure caused by carelessness or accidental damage,
improper operation, excessive speed during travel and operation, inappropriate
transportation or storage of the sprayer or attachment.

Failures due to faulty or inadequate electrical sources of power. Owners who use
their own 12 volt power source must make sure that it is suitable for operating
the spraying equipment.

Any unauthorised alteration, modifi cation, attachments or unauthorised repairs
to the Croplands sprayer or attachments. Written approval must be obtained from
Croplands for any such items to maintain warranty.

The time taken to remove and re-install a warranted part or component into other
brands of sprayers will not be covered by Croplands warranty. Only parts and
labour directly attributable to the repair of the Croplands unit is covered.

Croplands do not pay for cleaning the sprayer, parts, accessories or work area
before or after the warranty repair. Clean-up time is affected primarily by the
application or conditions in which the sprayer is operated and maintained. Since
clean-up time can be so variable, cleaning time should be considered a customer
expense.

Warranty does not cover transportation or insurance costs for sprayers or other
equipment needing repair or re placement of warranted components. Nor does it
cover any freight or insurance costs in obtaining new parts or returning old parts
to Croplands for inspection purposes.

Warranty does not cover time required to diagnose a war ran ty problem.
Diagnostic time is affected greatly by the training and expertise of the technician
employed to do the job. With proper training of service personnel, diagnostic time
should be at a minimum.

Croplands expects that Dealers will assign a well trained and profi cient
technician to handle any warranty repairs. Since Croplands is not in control of
either of these responsibilities, we elect not to cover diagnostic time.

Use of parts other than Croplands parts for repair of war rant ed parts will
automatically negate any warranty. Warranted components must be replaced
with genuine Croplands repair parts.

Repairs by an unauthorised agent will automatically forfeit any warranty. An
authorised Croplands Dealer must carry out warranty repairs.
