THE GRACO WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMERS

WARRANTY
Graco warrants all equipment manufactured by it and bearing its name to be free from defects in mate-
rial and workmanship on the date of sale by an authorized Graco distributor to the original purchaser for
use. As purchaser’s sole remedy for breach of this warranty, Graco will, for a period of twelve months
from the date of sale, repair or replace any part of the equipment proven defective. This warranty ap-
plies only when the equipment is installed, operated and maintained in accordance with Graco’s written
recommendations. 

This warranty does not cover, and Graco shall not be liable for, any malfunction, damage or wear
caused by faulty installation, misapplication, abrasion, corrosion, inadequate or improper mainte-
nance, negligence, accident, tampering, or substitution of non–Graco component parts. Nor shall
Graco be liable for malfunction, damage or wear caused by the incompatibility with Graco equipment of
structures, accessories, equipment or materials not supplied by Graco, or the improper design, manu-
facture, installation, operation or maintenance of structures, accessories, equipment or materials not
supplied by Graco. 

This warranty is conditioned upon the prepaid return of the equipment claimed to be defective to an
authorized Graco distributor for verification of the claim. If the claimed defect is verified, Graco will re-
pair or replace free of charge any defective parts. The equipment will be returned to the original pur-
chaser transportation prepaid. If inspection of the equipment does not disclose any defect in material or
workmanship, repairs will be made at a reasonable charge, which charges may include the costs of
parts, labor and transportation.

DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS

THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY CONSTITUTE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ARE
IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED), INCLUDING WARRANTY OF MERCHAN-
TABILITY OR WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND OF ANY NON–CONTRACTUAL
LIABILITIES, INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITIES, BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY. EVERY
FORM OF LIABILITY FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSS IS EXPRESSLY EX-
CLUDED AND DENIED. IN NO CASE SHALL GRACO’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE PUR-
CHASE PRICE. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS
OF THE DATE OF SALE.
