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.
All decisions of DeVilbiss Air Power Company with regard to this policy shall be final.
