LIMITED WARRANTY 

Vestil Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”) warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship 

during the warranty period. Our warranty obligation is to provide a replacement for a defective, original part covered by the 
warranty after we receive a proper request from the Warrantee (you) for warranty service. 
Who may request service? 

Only a warrantee may request service. You are a warrantee if you purchased the product from Vestil or from an 

authorized distributor AND Vestil has been fully paid. 
Definition of “original part”? 

An original part is a part used to make the product as shipped to the Warrantee. 

What is a “proper request”? 

A request for warranty service is proper if Vestil receives: 1) a photocopy of the Customer Invoice that displays the 

shipping date; AND 2) a written request for warranty service including your name and phone number. Send requests by

Enter “Warranty service request” in subject field 

In the written request, list the parts believed to be defective and include the address where replacements should be 

delivered. After Vestil receives your request for warranty service, an authorized representative will contact you to 
determine whether your claim is covered by the warranty. Before providing warranty service, Vestil will require you to send 
the entire product, or just the defective part (or parts), to its facility in Angola, IN. 
What is covered under the warranty? 

The warranty covers defects in the following original, dynamic parts: motors, hydraulic pumps, motor controllers, and 

cylinders. It also covers defects in original parts that wear under normal usage conditions (“wearing parts”), such as 
bearings, hoses, wheels, seals, brushes, and batteries. 
How long is the warranty period? 

The warranty period for original dynamic components is 1 year. For wearing parts, the warranty period is 90 days. 

Both warranty periods begin on the date Vestil ships the product to the Warrantee. If the product was purchased from an 
authorized distributor, the periods begin when the distributor ships the product. Vestil may, at its sole discretion, extend a 
warranty period for products shipped from authorized distributors by up to 30 days to account for shipping time. 
If a defective part is covered by the warranty, what will Vestil do to correct the problem? 

Vestil will provide an appropriate replacement for any covered part. An authorized representative of Vestil will contact 

you to discuss your claim. 
What is not covered by the warranty?
