This Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty (“Limited Warranty”) is effective with respect to Schuler
Products sold by dealers after September 1, 2006, until revised by Schuler Mfg. & Equip. Co., Inc.
(“Schuler”).
A. General Provisions. The limited express warranties described in this Limited Warranty are
provided by Schuler to the original purchasers of new equipment manufactured by
Schuler that is purchased from authorized Schuler dealers. These warranties only apply to
equipment intended for sale in the United States. Subject to the proration schedule and the
limitations with respect to a Planetary Gearbox, as set forth in paragraph B below, under these
warranties, Schuler will during the applicable warranty period, repair or replace, at its sole
option, any covered part which is found by Schuler in its discretion, to have been defective in
material or workmanship at the time the dealer sold the equipment to the original purchaser.
Warranty service must be performed by a dealer or service center located in the United States
and authorized by Schuler to service the type of product involved, only new or remanufactured
parts furnished by Schuler may be used and all Schuler warranty pre-authorization and claim
procedures must be followed. All warranty work must be performed at the place of business of
authorized dealer or service center. Service provided by an unauthorized service provider
is not covered and will void the warranty for the then remaining warranty period. You
should verify that the service provider is authorized by Schuler to provide service. The
warranties provided in this Limited Warranty will not be effective if the dealer did not instruct
the original purchaser on recommended service and maintenance for the equipment.
Subject to the proration schedule and limitations with respect to a Planetary Gearbox, as set
forth in paragraph B below, warranty service will be performed without charge to the
purchaser for parts or labor. In all events, the purchaser will be responsible for (i) any
service call and/or transportation of the equipment to and from the
dealer’s or service center’s
place of business, (ii) any premium charged for overtime labor requested by the purchaser,
(iii) any loaner equipment or rental equipment and (iv) any service and/or maintenance not
directly related to any defects covered under the warranties provided in this Limited
Warranty.
In addition to the warranties set forth in this Limited Warranty, if the sale of the equipment
is covered by the provisions of Chapter 19 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and if
the equipment was defective at the time of the sale, and if the dealer who sold the equipment
notifies Schuler within thirty (30) days from the date of sale that the dealer has determined
that the equipment cannot be made usable, Schuler warrants that it will, at its option, either
provide the purchaser with a cash refund or replace the equipment.
B. What is Warranted; Warranty Period. All parts of any new Schuler equipment are warranted.
The warranty period on all items that are warranted by this Limited Warranty (other than the
Planetary Gearbox, tires, tubes and batteries) is twelve (12) months. The warranty period for
