replacing, during normal business hours at an authorized service facility of the Company, any
part or assembly which in the Company’s judgment proved to have unsatisfactory material or
workmanship within the applicable Warranty Period as follows.
Except for the products or components listed below, and subject to the limitations and
restrictions set forth in the “Disclaimer” section set forth below, the Warranty Period for all
products is 1,250 hours of operation or three (3) months after start-up, not to exceed 120 days
after delivery to Purchaser, whichever occurs first. The exceptions are as follows:
1. Power end is warranted for twelve (12) months from date of start-up or eighteen (18)
months from date of delivery to the Purchaser, whichever occurs first.

from the date of installation or 18 months from the date of delivery to the purchaser,
which ever occurs first.
3. Repairs are warranted for 90 days from the date of delivery, for the workmanship and
materials of the new parts installed.
4. Weld repaired fluid ends and weld repaired components are not warranted.
5. Expendable fluid end parts, including, but not limited to, valves, valve parts, packing,
liners and pistons, are not covered by this warranty due to variable abrasive nature of

PRESERVATION ASSEMBLIES DESTINED FOR STORAGE
In order for warranty acceptance any pump assembly not immediately installed or destined to
be in storage or in transit for extended periods of time must be prepared for storage as
defined in
the Company’s Long Term Storage Procedure. This includes but is not limited to:
Drain and thoroughly clean inside power end crankcase.
Spray rust inhibiting oil on all bearing, machined and inside surfaces of the power end.
Induce clean gear oil into any circulating pump, filter, heat exchanger and piping.
Remove valves, seats and plungers from the fluid end. Thoroughly clean and dry these parts
and all internal surfaces. Coat all cylinder bores, valve covers and reusable expendable parts
with rust preventative.
Flush all water, and contaminants from pump, tanks, hoses and spray nozzles. Spray all
components with a rust inhibiting oil.
