Limited Warranty Coverage
This Limited Warranty is for mechanical breakdown coverage. If any of the parts identified below (the "Covered Parts") break down within the warranty period specified for item sold, customer must within 24 hours of failure contact Spartan Equipment with detailed description of failure. Emailed photos of failure may be required to fulfill warranty claim. Spartan Equipment will repair or replace any such part(s) in our facility or send replacement parts to client to be installed. Only installation or repairs pre-authorized by Spartan Equipment may be considered as a remedy to a warranty claim. NO compensation for labor, time or shipping costs associated with warranty claims will be considered or fulfilled. Spartan Equipment may however, at its sole discretion, elect to accept return of the equipment and provide Customer with a refund, less any damage or repairs needed and less charges for standard daily rental rate for time kept up to seven days from date of delivery. Mechanical breakdown coverage applies to the Covered Parts listed in the following section plus any related labor charges. Certain exclusions may apply (see Exclusions From Coverage section below).
Customer must notify Spartan Equipment of the failure of a Covered Part within the Warranty Period in writing and within 24 hours of failure. Repairs will be made with parts of like kind and quality. It is expressly understood that replacement parts and/or components need not be new, but may be used or rebuilt, which will be guaranteed serviceable. A "breakdown" or "mechanical breakdown" means the failure of any original or like replacement part covered by this Limited Warranty to work as it was designed to work in normal service. However, reduced operation or reduced performance due to normal wear and tear shall not be considered a breakdown within the meaning of this Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty does not constitute a written affirmation of fact or promise by Spartan Equipment that the material or workmanship of the equipment, or any parts thereof, are free of any defects or will meet a specified level of performance over a specified period of time.
This is the only express warranty made by Spartan Equipment. ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTY. No other warranty of any kind is made unless expressly provided herein. To the extent allowed by applicable law of the State of Maryland, Spartan Equipment shall not be liable for any damages relating to loss of use of the products, loss of time, inconvenience or commercial loss, or any other incidental or consequential damages. All warranties are extended only to the original customer. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE LENGTH OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS ON RELIEF SUCH AS INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Prior written or oral statements, negotiations, communications or representations regarding warranties have been merged into or superseded by this warranty writing, and if not included in this warranty writing, shall not be binding. This is the total agreement for any and all warranties relating to the product warranted hereunder.

Usage
Spartan Equipment’s Policy concerning the use of Spartan attachments on non-approved equipment is: "Spartan will not approve of, or be held liable for, the use of Spartan attachments used on units which are not specifically approved by Spartan." The same policy applies to the use of non-approved attachments on Spartan products. "Spartan Equipment will not approve of, or be held liable for, the use of non-approved attachments on Spartan products."
Unauthorized Repair
Warranted attachments and the components thereof must be replaced with Spartan approved repair parts. Warranty repair must be done by an authorized Spartan dealer only.

Travel time, if applicable, required for warranty repairs is the sole responsibility of the owner. Spartan Equipment does not pay travel time.
Transportation | Shipping Fees and Expense
Spartan Equipment does not pay for transportation or shipping fees associated with the attachment for repair or replacement of warranted components.
Diagnostic Time
Spartan Equipment does not pay for time required to diagnose a warranty problem. Diagnostic time is affected greatly by the training and expertise of the technician employed to do the job. With proper training of your service personnel diagnostic time should be at a minimum. We are confident that you will assign your best trained/most proficient technician to handle warranty repairs. Due to Spartan Equipment not being in control of on sight diagnostics and because we will diagnose all returned attachments and components free of charge, diagnostic time incurred by customers will not be reimbursed.
Clean-Up Time
Spartan Equipment does not pay for cleaning the attachment or work area before or after the warranty repair. Clean-Up Time is affected primarily by the application or conditions in which the machine is operated and in most cases could be considered a customer expense. Since clean-up time can vary considerably, we do not reimburse for clean-up time and it is not part of the suggested repair time.

Spartan Equipment does not pay for miscellaneous shop supplies or special tools.
Shortages
Options ordered and not received must be addressed through the District Sales Manager.
