GIANT-VAC, INC.

, here-in-after called Giant-Vac, will warrant each new Giant-Vac product to be free

from manufacturing defects in normal service for a period of two (2) years for consumer use, one (1)
year for commercial use, or thirty (30) days for rental use.  This warranty extends only to the original
purchaser of the product and cannot be transferred.   This warranty does not apply to engines, tires
or other items that are purchased by Giant-Vac and warranted by the manufacturer of such items.
Items such as bags, grass catchers, hoses and blades are not warranted, as these are considered
expendable items.  This warranty does not include equipment failures due to normal wear.

Any obligation under this warranty is expressly limited to the replacement or repair, at an authorized
servicing Giant-Vac dealer, or at a point designated by us, of such parts as appear to us to have been
defective.  All defective parts have to be returned freight prepaid before credit will be issued.

We shall not be liable for transportation charges in connection with the replacement or repair of defec-
tive parts.

This warranty does not apply to a Giant-Vac upon which repairs or alterations have been made by oth-
ers except with our prior written approval.

We shall not be liable for consequential damages or contingent liabilities for the fitness of any Giant-
Vac for any particular purpose.

We make no other express, implied or statutory warranty, nor is anyone authorized to make any in our
behalf.
