Return Material Authorization (RMA)

An RMA# is needed every time you return something to the factory.  If the part doesn't have an RMA when received, it's unlikely a credit/warranty will be processed.

Please contact our parts department for an RMA #.  An RMA form will be emailed to you.  Parts department can be reached at 612-722-1366 (follow prompts).
