report is filled out on the spot, a copy of which is
given to the customer.

claim form.
3. The customer mails in the claim form.
4. The claim usually takes two (2) months to process.
If a unit is seriously damaged, your Ranger Products
dealer may be able to intervene, requesting that the
damaged unit be returned and a new unit delivered.
If no damage is found, remove the bolts or
steel bands which fasten the machine to the skid.
The machine may be fastened on two or all four
corners. Remove the machine from the skid being
careful not to damage the casters on the underside.
