What About Engine or Starting Problems?
The engine manufactur er warranties the engine separately. If you
experience difficulties with your engine, see your telephone book for
the engine manufacturer’s nearest service center.
How Do I File a Claim?
If you believe any Patriot pr oduct or part is defective within a two (2) year
period from the date of purchase, contact your place of purchase. They
will file your claim or they will direct you to a qualified Patriot Authorized
Service Center. You will be asked to produce a dated receipt for the prod-
uct if it was not registered with the factory.
If the product or part is determined to be defective by a Patriot
Authorized Service Center, we will repair or replace it at our discretion, at
no expense to you or the service center.
If the product or part is damaged due to negligence, abuse of the prod-
uct’s purpose, or improper maintenance, the warranty is void.
How Long W ill It Take?
W arranty repairs may take a few minutes…or a few days. It depends on
the nature of the problem. We believe it is in everyone’s best interest to
provide service as quickly and efficiently as possible. However, during
peak seasons, a service center may need a week or more to schedule and
perform repairs.
What About Professional or Commercial Use?
A Patriot employed in any commercial endeavor (rental stores,
landscaping businesses, farming, etc.) is warranted for 90 days from
the date of purchase under the terms and conditions described above.
