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.
