Smittybilt Automotive Products, LLC (SAP) warrants to the original purchaser that (a) 

the mechanical components (e.g., gears, clutch, spools, etc.) of any SAP winch will 

be free of defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the winch, and (b) 

the electrical components (e.g., electric motor, wires, solenoid, etc.) will be free of 

defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the original 

date of purchase. This Warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the winch. 

To obtain any warranty service, you must provide SAP with proof of purchase and 

date of purchase acceptable to SAP, such as a copy of your purchase receipt.
This warranty does not cover the removal or re-installation of the winch. SAP will, 

at its sole option, repair, replace or refund the purchase price of a defective winch 

or component, provided you return the defective winch or component during the 

warranty period, transportation charges prepaid, to SAP. Attach your name, address, 

telephone number, a brief description of the problem, and a copy of your receipt 

and original bill of sale bearing the SAP serial number of the defective winch and 

date of purchase. This warranty does not apply (i) to finish, paint or the wire rope; (ii) 

if the winch has been damaged by accident, abuse, misuse, collision, overloading, 

modification, misapplication, improper installation , or improper service; or (iii) any 

normally wearable part such as the break mechanism. This Warranty is void if any 

SAP serial number has been removed or defaced.
Commercial or industrial use or application, or any hoisting application of the winch 

voids the Warranty. This Warranty is good only for winches bought, sold and used in 

the United States unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by SAP.
