GENERAL PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY

said period are limited to the repair or replacement, including labor charges, of defective parts or assemblies. The
labor warranty shall include pre-approved standard straight time labor charges only and reasonable travel time, as
determined by SUMMIT.
COMPRESSOR WARRANTY
In addition to the warranty period stated above, SUMMIT warrants its hermetically sealed compressor to be free
from defects in both material and workmanship, under normal and proper use and maintenance, for a period of 60
months from the date of original purchase. Compressors determined by SUMMIT to have been defective within
this extended time period will, at SUMMIT’s option, be either repaired or replaced with a compressor or
compressor parts of similar design and capacity. The above said extended compressor warranty applies only to
