The Spearhead Warranty 

 
Spearhead  warrants  that  the  Spearhead  machine  referred  to  in  the  Warranty  Registration 
Form will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from 
the date of sale.  This warranty does not affect your statutory rights, but merely adds to them.  
Should  you  have  a  problem  within  12  months  from  the  date  of  sale  please  contact  your 
original  Spearhead  dealer,  or  Spearhead’s  Service  Department.    Any  part  found  to  be 
defective  during  this  period  will  be  replaced  or  repaired,  at  Spearhead’s  discretion,  by  the 
dealer or a Spearhead Service Engineer. 
 

Spearhead Warranty Conditions

 

 

1.  The  Warranty  Registration  Form  must  be  completed  and  returned  to  Spearhead 

within 30 days of the date of sale 

 

2.  This warranty does not cover defects arising from fair wear  and tear,  wilful damage, 

negligence, misuse, abnormal working conditions, use in competition, failure to follow 
Spearhead’s  instructions  (oral  or  written,  including  all  instructions  and 
recommendation  made  in  the  Operator’s  Manual)  or  alteration  or  repair  of  the 
machinery without Spearhead’s approval. 

 

3.  The  machinery 

must have been serviced in accordance with the Operator’s Manual 

and  the  Service  Log  must  have  been  kept  up  to  date  and  made  available  to  the 
dealer should service, repair or warranty work be undertaken. 

 

4.  This warranty does not cover claims in respect of wearing parts such as blades, flails, 

paintwork, tyres, belts, hydraulic hoses, bearings, bushes, linkage pins, top links, ball 
ends  unless  there  is  a  manufacturing  or  material  defect  or  the  cost  of  normal 
servicing items such as oils and lubricants. 

 

5.  This warranty does not cover any expenses or losses incurred whilst the machinery is 

out of use for warranty repairs or parts replacement. 

 

6.  This warranty does not extend to parts, materials or equipment not manufactured by 

Spearhead,  for  which  the  Buyer  shall  only  be  entitled  to  the  benefit  of  any  such 
warranty  or  guarantee  given  by  the  manufacturer  to  Spearhead.  Only  genuine 
Spearhead replacement parts will be allowable for warranty claims. 

 

7.  All  parts  replaced  by  Spearhead  under  warranty  become  the  property  of Spearhead 

and  must  be  returned  to  Spearhead  if Spearhead  so  request.    Such  parts  may  only 
be  disposed  of  after  a  warranty  claim  has  been  accepted  and  processed  by 
Spearhead. 

 

8. 

Spearhead  is  not  liable  under  this  warranty  for  any  repairs  carried  out  without 
Spearhead’s  written  consent  or  without  Spearhead  being  afforded  a  reasonable 
opportunity to inspect the machinery the subject of the warranty claim.  Spearhead’s 
written  consent  must,  therefore,  be  obtained  before  any  repairs  are  carried  out  or 
parts  replaced.    Use  of  non-  Spearhead  parts  automatically  invalidates  the 
Spearhead  Warranty.  Failed  components  must  not  be  dismantled  except  as 
specifically  authorised  by  Spearhead  and  dismantling  of  any  components  without 
authorisation from Spearhead will invalidate this warranty.

 

 

9. 

All  warranty  claims must  be  submitted  to  Spearhead  on  Spearhead Warranty  Claim 
Forms within 30 days of completion of warranty work.

 

 
Using the machine implies the knowledge and acceptance of these instructions 
 

 

 

and the limitations contained in this Manual.
