ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE

All merchandise manufactured by DeVilbiss Air Power Company is warranted to be free of defects in workmanship
and material which occur during the first year from the date of purchase by the original purchaser (initial user). Products

warranty period. Repair or replacement, and service calls on 60 and 80 gallon air compressors, will be handled by
Authorized Warranty Service Centers and will be scheduled and serviced according to the normal work flow and
business hours at the service center location, and depending on the availability of replacement parts.
