  • Page 19: Limited Warranty

    LIMITED WARRANTY Eastern Tools & Equipment, Inc. will repair or replace, free of charge, any part or parts of the compressor that are defective in material or workmanship or both. Transportation charges on parts submitted for repair or replacement under this Warranty must be borne by purchaser. This warranty is effective for the time period and subject to the conditions provided for in this policy.
  • Page 20 Normal wears: Engines and generators, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part of an engine. Improper maintenance: The life of an engine or your equipment depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps, and rotary movers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature, wear.
