LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTY 

 
All Products – LOFTNESS products are designed to provide years of dependable service when proper use and maintenance is adhered 
to. The potential for misuse in many applications exists, therefore a limited warranty is provided as follows: 
 
All Shredders, Axes, Cutters & Mowers – Rotor Balance: Critical rotor balance can be affected by conditions beyond LOFTNESS’ 
control, such as the operation of a shredder beyond the Company’s rated capacity, improper knife replacement, missing knives, striking 
foreign objects, lack of lubrication, etc. Any failure resulting from running in as “out-of-balance” condition, such as, but not limited to 
bearing and or drive-line failure, metal fatigue, cracks, etc. will be considered abuse and will not be covered under warranty. 
LOFTNESS may elect to have an area representative evaluate the condition of the machine before warranty is considered. 

To receive a warranty claim, a return authorization from LOFTNESS must be obtained. The failed part may then be returned in an 
untampered status. This warranty does not include freight or delivery charges incurred when returning machinery for servicing. Dealer 
mileage, service calls and pick-up/delivery charges are the customer’s responsibility.
