14 months from arrival at port of discharge, whichever is earlier. The end-user’s sole remedy (and GSI’s only obligation) 
is to repair or replace, at GSI’s option and expense, products that in GSI’s judgment, contain a material defect in materials 
or workmanship. Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the end-user without prior written authorization from the GSI 
Warranty Group shall be the sole responsibility of the end-user.

GSI further warrants that the portable and tower dryer frame and basket, excluding all auger and auger drive 
components, shall be free from defects in materials for a period of time beginning on the twelfth (12

th

) month from 

the date of purchase and continuing until the sixtieth (60

th

) month from the date of purchase (extended warranty period). 

During the extended warranty period, GSI will replace the frame or basket components that prove to be defective 
under normal conditions of use without charge, excluding the labor, transportation, and/or shipping costs incurred in 
the performance of this extended warranty.

anticipated profits or benefits. The sole and exclusive remedy is set forth in the Limited Warranty, which shall not exceed 
the amount paid for the product purchased. This warranty is not transferable and applies only to the original end-user. 
GSI shall have no obligation or responsibility for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of any dealer,
