DEAR CUSTOMER 

 

Rata Industries would like to take this opportunity to welcome you as the new owner of a Vogal Spreader. 

We want your spreader to be the most efficient and reliable piece of equipment you have. This manual 

has been produced to assist in the correct operation, maintenance and care of your machine. 

 

The safe operation and maintenance of your spreader is very important to prevent any personal injury 

and/or damage. Read and fully understand the following instructions before using your machine or 

carrying out any maintenance. 

 

WARRANTY 

 

Rata Industries warrants new products sold by it, to be free from defects in material and workmanship for 

a period of 12 months after the date of purchase to the initial user. This warranty is for the replacement 

or repair of any part found to be defective during the warranty period. This warranty only applies to new 

Vogal products. 

 

If the product is purchased for commercial use or hire gain, then the warranty is reduced to three 

months. Should the product fail as a result of a fault in material or sub-standard workmanship by the 

manufacturer within the warranty period then Rata Industries will agree to repair this product subject to 

the conditions of this warranty. 

 
This warranty excludes any transport costs or damage and excludes all normal maintenance costs. 

Rata Industries will not pay for mileage, freight, courier costs, oil, grease or any other expendable 

materials. 

As the use of the Vogal product is outside our control, Rata Industries accepts no liability for lost earnings 

or down time directly or indirectly caused by the machines performance. 

 

Replacement parts provided under the terms of this warranty are covered for the remainder of the 

warranty period applicable to the product in which they were installed as if such parts were original 

components of that product. 

 

No warranty work is to be started without first getting approval and following the correct warranty  

procedures as set out by Rata Industries. Rata Industries will not under any circumstances pay for or 

repair any damage caused by misuse or neglect of any machine. 

 

All warranty issues and claims are totally at the discretion of Rata Industries. 

Warranty Exclusions: loose bolts and screws including worn holes for the same, belts, tyres, blades, PTO 

shafts, disc bearings and hydraulic hoses, these parts are generally not covered by this warranty. 

 

DELIVERY 

 

The machine is delivered fully assembled, however, before use carefully check the entire machine for 

transit damage and report any problems immediately. 

 

Rata Industries thanks you for buying our product. 

We are sure you will be impressed!
