Conditions

Warranty does not cover consumable parts which would be replaced during the normal routine servicing of the engine. See Operators Handbook.

Warranty is invalid if genuine Beta or Kubota approved parts are not used. These parts can be obtained from your local Beta dealer.

Beta Marine reserves the right to either repair or replace the parts concerned.

Wherever possible, warranty work must be carried out by a Beta Marine Service Dealer. If one is not available, then contact must be made direct to Beta Marine Limited in the UK who will authorize the work to be carried out by a local engineer.

Travel to do warranty work is limited to 2.5 hours and 200 miles round trip. The removal and reinstallation of an engine is limited to 4 hours.

The customer must  pay the labor and parts cost direct to the engineer who carries out the work, for those not covered under warranty as defined in item (3). If the cause of the failure is unclear, then the owner must pay for the parts and labor cost before the repair is completed. The failed parts will be returned to the supplier and the official report sent to the customer. If warranty applies, then the customer will be reimbursed for the labor and material charges originally paid.

Third party claims are not acceptable as defined in our terms and conditions of sale (see acknowledgement form).

Cranage and slipping fees are not included under the warranty cover. 

This warranty is valid for the first retail purchaser only.

Owners/Users Responsibility:

1. Owners must satisfy themselves that the engine is installed correctly so that the engine cannot be damaged or made to run incorrectly or cause failure leading to a life threatening situation.

2. Owners must maintain the engine in a proper manner as described in the operators manual. Faulty parts must be immediately replaced or repaired so that continual use of the engine cannot cause these parts to suffer premature failure causing possible injury or death in certain circumstances.

3. Engines being stored for more than 8 months must be either run regularly or special protection oils specified at the time of purchase. Failures relating to incorrect storage or maintenance are not covered under this warranty.

4. The warranty card must be returned to your local dealer or direct to Beta Marine US Ltd. to register you as the first owner.

Warranty does not cover parts affected by the following:

• poor installation

• ordinary wear and tear

• improper use

• rust or corrosion

• accident

• contamination of rubber mounts by oil or diesel

• contamination by sea water in the engine oil due to poor installation

• incorrect storage
