All Vulcan marine engines are warranted to be free from manufacturing
and component defects for a period of 1(one) year from the date of installation
when used in pleasure craft, non-commercial applications. Parts and labour shall
be covered on a warrantable defect for the first year. All Vulcan marine engines
must be installed by a qualified marine technician.
This warranty shall cover repairs and or replacement of a defective part(s) at dealer
cost, plus labour cost in accordance with our labour policy as specified in Section
A, listed below. Please note that repair of replacement of a defective part does
not extend the original warranty period. We reserve the right to refund the original
purchase price for any returned unit, such payment to be made in lieu of replacement
of such unit.
This warranty policy does not cover:
- Damage caused by water ingress. This will invalidate any warranty. Keypart recommends
that all exhaust manifolds and risers are replaced prior to installation).
- Use of LPG (liquid petroleum gas) at any time. (Vulcan engines are remanufactured
for gasoline use only). (Using LPG during combustion creates much higher combustion
temperatures and invalidates any warranty).
- Parts that have been damaged by abuse, misuse, neglect, freezing, corrosion, lack
of proper maintenance or accident.
- Unauthorised repairs or any part(s) not returned to Keypart for inspection.
- Oil, oil filter, anti-freeze or miscellaneous shop supplies.
- Boat rental, towing, storage, and incidental or consequential damages resulting
from loss of time or use of the boat.
- Any part(s) that have been modified or altered in any way.
- Any part used for high performance or racing applications, unless specifically supplied
for such applications.
- Workmanship performed outside Keypart’S facilities.
- Part(s) not supplied or authorised for use by Keypart utilised during a warranty
repair or replacement.
