WARRANTY REGISTRATION
New machine warranty coverage begins when the ma-

ceived and processed by Takeuchi. A machine must be
registered when any of the following conditions are met no
matter which occurs rst:
Unit is sold to a retail customer.
Unit is placed into rental.
Unit accumulates over 100 hours on hour meter.
Twelve (12) months from the Takeuchi invoice due
date.
Please note that if the Warranty registration is not received
when the machine is put into service, the warranty start
date will be determined by the sole judgment of Takeuchi
Mfg. U.S. based on invoice paid date, hours, date sold to
retail customer or dealer rental eet in service date. War-
ranty claims will not be accepted until the proper registra-
tion has been received by Takeuchi Mfg. U.S.

WARRANTY REIMBURSEMENT
Takeuchi provides for warranty reimbursement due to de-
fects in material or workmanship only. Warranty does not
include restoring to factory new condition, any machine or
portion thereof which has accumulated hours of operation.
This includes customer-owned and used equipment still
covered by warranty.
With the exception of only a few parts not available through
Takeuchi, all Takeuchi warranty repairs must be performed
using ONLY genuine Takeuchi new service parts. Installa-
tion of non-Takeuchi replacement parts does NOT qualify
for warranty reimbursement and can void the machine’s
warranty.
Under no circumstance may a dealer take a credit against
their open account for a pending warranty claim. Addition-
ally, dealers are responsible for making sure that their
parts account is maintained according to the Takeuchi
Terms and Conditions Agreement. Failure to comply will
subject the dealer to interest penalties, terms reduction, or
parts termination.
Pre-Authorization: The dealer must obtain email pre-au-
thorization from the Takeuchi Regional Service Manager
for repairs to exceed $3000. Final approval of repairs will
be made by Takeuchi upon inspection of failed compo-
nents. This email authorization should be attached to the
warranty claim when submitted.
Parts: Takeuchi will reimburse servicing dealers for parts
approved, based on the price in eect on the date the
parts are replaced. Takeuchi will reimburse for approved
parts used for repair, at 110% of dealer cost. This cost
includes any discounts or programs taken to reduce the
part cost. All parts replaced under warranty, not recalled by
Takeuchi, must be retained by the dealership for 90 days
after payment has been received.
Labor: Takeuchi shall reimburse the dealer at 100% of the
dealer’s posted retail shop labor rate (for in-shop repairs)
on le with Takeuchi at the time the warranty claim is en-
tered. Shop labor rates may be adjusted once a year dur-
ing the second quarter. This retail shop labor rate shall be
subject to verication by Takeuchi from copies of actual
invoices to customers.
Outside Charges: Specialized repair, such as machine
shop, radiator, or air conditioning repair not normally per-
formed at some dealer locations, will be accepted as part
of the warranty claim at actual cost. To support the claim,
the dealer must explain the parts used and service work
performed in the failure description and probable cause
section of the warranty claim and submit a copy of the in-
voice.
Freight: The cost to return warranty recalled parts to
Takeuchi will be reimbursed. Freight expense reimburse-
ments are to be led on a separate claim for all heavy items
that have been recalled by the Warranty Department. The
dealer is responsible for attaching a copy of the freight in-
voice to the warranty claim for processing.
Travel: Takeuchi does not reimburse for travel time or
mileage. It is the customer’s responsibility to deliver a ma-
chine to an authorized service center for repairs.
