Warranty Policy
This warranty is effective on product shipped after May 1, 2011. Rotary lifters will have a limited warranty of THREE YEARS from the date of shipment.
PERKINS MANUFACTURING COMPANY warrants its lifters to be free from defects in material and workmanship when used within the specified operating conditions described in this manual, for a period of three (3) years from the shipping date on the invoice.

This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement, at PERKINS discretion, of any component of any rotary lifter manufactured by PERKINS which is proven to PERKINS satisfaction to have been defective in material or workmanship. This warranty does not obligate PERKINS to bear the cost of labor or transportation charges in connection with the repair or replacement of defective parts, and shall not apply to a product upon which unauthorized repairs or alterations have been made. Any improper use, removal or substitution of parts, incorrect installation, lack of maintenance, operator error, or unauthorized modification, which in PERKINS judgement resulted in the lifter failure, shall void this warranty.

PERKINS makes no warranty of products manufactured by others and supplied by PERKINS, the same being subject to warranties, if any, of their respective manufacturers.

PERKINS assumes no liability for any incidental, consequential, direct or indirect damages, losses, or delays, including but not limited to, loss of profits, product or time.

Replacement parts sold by PERKINS shall have a ninety (90) day warranty for replacement only. The warranty item must be returned to PERKINS for evaluation upon its request. Labor to replace such part shall be the responsibility of the owner. There is no warranty on used items.

PERKINS, whose policy is one of continuous improvement, reserves the right to improve its products through changes in design or materials as it may deem desirable without obligation to incorporate such changes in products of prior manufacture.

The above warranty supersedes and is in lieu of all other express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantabilityor fitness. No employee of any other representative of PERKINS is authorized to change this warranty in any way or to grant any other warranty.
