BLUE DIAMOND® ATTACHMENTS, LLC (“BDA”), a manufacturer of quality attachments, warrants new BDA products and/or attachments at the time of delivery to the original purchaser, to be free from defects in material and workmanship when properly set up and operated in accordance with the recommendations set forth by BDA.

BDA’s liability for any defect with respect to accepted goods shall be limited to repairing the goods at a BDA designated location or at an authorized dealer location, or replacing them, as BDA shall elect. The above shall be in accordance with BDA warranty adjustment policies. BDA’s obligation shall terminate twelve (12) months for all products after the delivery of the goods to original purchaser unless there is additional coverage for that item as outlined below.
This warranty shall not apply to any machine or attachment which shall have been repaired or altered outside the BDA factory or authorized BDA dealership or in any way so as in BDA’s judgment, to affect its stability or reliability, nor which has been subject to misuse, negligence or accident beyond the company recommended machine rated capacity.

EXCLUSIONS OF WARRANTY

Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, BDA makes no representation or warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, AND MAKES NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY IN RESPECT TO ITS MACHINERY AND/OR ATTACHMENTS ARE FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BDA shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages for any breach of warranty, including but not limited to inconvenience, rental of replacement equipment, loss of profits or other commercial loss.

NOTE: Blue Diamond® Attachments is a trademark of BLUE DIAMOND® ATTACHMENTS

At Blue Diamond Attachments, streamlining your warranty claim is a priority. Contact the Product Support Team at the first sign of equipment issues for efficient management of your claim.

To submit a warranty claim, a claim must be filed with BDA and approved before work is performed. BDA will advise repairs and applicable parts exchanges. Submit detailed photos of the issue and images of the overall condition of the attachments to warranty@bdattachments.com. These are required for processing your claim. Tampering with the failed part may void the warranty. This warranty does not include freight or delivery charges incurred when returning machinery for servicing. Dealer mileage, service calls, and pickup/delivery charges are the customers’ responsibility and will not be paid by BDA.

We cover standard LTL freight and UPS ground shipping on warranty parts and attachments sent from the plant to the dealer or end user. Next Day Air (NDA) or any other special freight services are not covered under warranty but can be arranged at the dealer and/or end user’s expense.

HOSES, COUPLERS, HOSE ROUTING, AND CONNECTIONS:

BDA supplies our attachments with hoses that are a universal size for most machines but because the configuration varies by manufacturer, we cannot guarantee that the hose length will be correct on every machine or for every routing.

It is the responsibility of the end user to adjust the length of the hoses to fit their specific machine. It is also the responsibility of the end user to ensure the hose routing is such that the hoses will not become tangled, caught, pinched, crushed, or run over during operation.

  • It is the end user’s responsibility to ensure that the hose routing clears pinch points and          allows the attachment to move properly.
  • BDA will not cover hose or coupler damage due to poor hose routing. Hose extenders and hose keepers are available at additional cost to accommodate machines with unique requirements.

BDA supplies most of our attachments with standard size quick couplers while other attachments have the couplers sold separately. The coupler configuration on machines can vary by manufacturer so we cannot guarantee that the standard coupler will be correct on every application. We are willing to change couplers before the attachment leaves our facility if it is noted on the order. For applications where couplers are sold separately, they will be installed before the attachment leaves our facility if it is noted on the order. BDA is not responsible for coupler sizes after the attachment has left our facility unless a different configuration was specified at the time of order.

hydraulic motors:

Do not disassemble any hydraulic motor. Disassembly of the motor voids the motor warranty.

BDA products with hydraulic motors have a one (1) year warranty on parts and labor. In the event of a motor issue, a warranty claim must be submitted, and reviewed by an authorized BDA representative. BDA cannot return disassembled motors to the motor manufacturer. Do not disassemble the motor. Hydraulic motors under warranty will be exchanged if found to be defective. There are no user serviceable internal parts available for a motor that is covered under warranty.

CYLINDERS:

Defective cylinders are covered for one (1) year. Disassembly of the cylinder will void the cylinder warranty.

HAY SPEARS:

Hay Spears have a one (1) year warranty, with a two (2) year warranty on the tines against breakage from normal use. Warranty does not cover tines that have been used to prod or turn bales without being fully engaged in the bale. This will cause bending.

PALLET FORKS:

BDA Pallet Forks have a one (1) year warranty. If the forks are used in an application where the weight that is lifted exceeds the fork rating, all warranty coverage will be voided. Damage due to prying or pushing (side load) is not covered by warranty. Lifting items such as boulders puts excessive force outward on the tines and may cause damage and or injury. The fork capacity rating is when the weight of the load is X” from the rear of the tine.
