Avant Tecno (UK) of Thetford in Norfolk has announced a major change to its standard warranty and service schedule interval policies.

With immediate effect, all machines manufactured after January 1st  this year will carry a two, rather than one year warranty - only restricted by the number of hours worked. For example, the larger R, 5, 6 and 700 Series machines will all have a 1000 hour limit before the warranty expires.

For this new warranty to remain valid for the full two years, Avant insists that every machine has a full, documented service history from an approved dealer which must also only use genuine parts.
In addition, the company is doubling the service intervals for its R, 5, 6 and 700 Series models from 2015 onwards from 200 to 400 hours, with a first service at 50 hours as before.

Commenting on the changes, Avant's UK managing director Raimo Ala-Korpi said: "We have been able to introduce these improved warranty and service interval policies thanks to a continuous programme of development in terms of both build and component quality. For example, we now use highly reliable piston drive motors on all our larger models."
