Limited Warranty WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS To be covered by warranty, each new product must be registered with Farm King within thirty (30) days of delivery to original retail purchaser. If the customer decides to purchase replacement components before the warranty disposition of such components is determined, Farm King will bill the customer for such components and then credit the replacement invoice for those components later determined to be covered by this limited warranty.
