LIMITED EQUIPMENT WARRANTY

Wells Manufacturing warranties new products to be
free from defects in material and/or workmanship
for a period of one [1] year from the date of original

as a result of normal use, within the time period and
limitations defined in this warranty, will at Wells’
discretion have the parts replaced or repaired by Wells
or a Wells-authorized service agency.

THIS WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO ALL LISTED CONDITIONS.

Repairs performed under this warranty are to be
performed by a Wells authorized service agency. Wells
will not be responsible for charges incurred or service
performed by non-authorized repair agencies. In all
cases, the nearest Wells-authorized service agency
must be used. Wells will be responsible for normal
labor charges incurred in the repair or replacement
of a warrantied product within 50 miles (80.5 km)
of an authorized service agency. Time and expense
charges for anything beyond that distance will be
the responsibility of the owner. All labor will need
to be performed during regular service hours. Any
overtime premium will be charged to the owner. For all
shipments outside the U.S.A. and Canada, please see
the International Warranty for specific details. It is the
responsibility of the owner to inspect and report any
shipping damage claims, hidden or otherwise, promptly
following delivery. No mileage or travel charges will be
honored on any equipment that is deemed portable. In
general, equipment with a cord and plug weighing less
than 50 lb. (22.7 kg) is considered portable and should
be taken or shipped to the closest authorized service
agency, transportation prepaid.
