Section G - Warranty Questions and Answers

What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A. The customer's responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance service, non-warranty repairs, accident damages, as well as oil and spark plugs.
What are some examples of "abnormal" strain, neglect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include: Running the machine out of oil; lack of proper maintenance; operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail; and so on. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.
Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as transportation due to a failure?
A. No. The warranty is limited to the repair of the machine itself.
May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner's Manual instead of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner's and Service Manuals. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha Power Product dealer.
Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new Yamaha exactly as specified in the Owner's Manual?
A. No. The warranty cannot be "voided" or "cancelled." However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the Owner's Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
A. Each Yamaha Power Product dealer is expected to:
1. Check the operation of the Pressure Washer before sale.
2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date. In addition, each Yamaha Power Product dealer is held responsible for his set-up, service and warranty repair work.
Is the warranty transferable to second owners?
A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha Power Product dealer for the policy to remain effective.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

The federal government requires each manufacturer of a motor vehicle to maintain a complete, up-to-date list of all first purchasers against the possibility of a safety-related defect and recall. This list is compiled from the purchase registrations sent to Yamaha by the selling dealer at the time of your purchase. If you should move after you have purchased your new Pressure Washer, please advise Yamaha of your new address by sending a subsequent owners' card listing your Pressure Washer model name, serial number, dealer name as it is shown on your warranty registration identification, your name and new mailing address. Mail to:

YAMAHA MOTOR CANADA LTD.
CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
480 GORDON BAKER RD
Toronto, Ontario M2H 3B4

This will ensure that Yamaha has an up-to-date registration record in accordance with federal law.
