LIMITED WARRANTY

Snorkel warrants each new machine manufactured and sold by it to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of delivery to a Customer or for one year after the machine
has been placed in first service in a Dealer rental fleet, whichever comes first. Any part or parts which, upon
examination by the Snorkel Service Department, are found to be defective, will be replaced or repaired, at the
sole discretion of Snorkel, through its local Authorized Dealer at no charge.

Snorkel further warrants the structural components; specifically, the mainframe chassis, turntable, booms and
scissor arms, of each new machine manufactured by it to be free from defects in material and workmanship
for an additional period of four (4) years. Any such part or parts which, upon examination by the Snorkel
Service Department, are found to be defective will be replaced or repaired by Snorkel through its local
Authorized Dealer at no charge; however, any labor charges incurred as a result of such replacement or repair
will be the responsibility of the Customer or Dealer.

The Snorkel Service Department must be notified within forty-eight (48) hours of any possible warranty
situation during the applicable warranty period. Personnel performing warranty repair or replacement must
obtain specific approval by Snorkel Service Department prior to performing any warranty repair or
replacement.

Customer and Dealer shall not be entitled to the benefits of this warranty and Snorkel shall have no obligations
hereunder unless the "Pre-Delivery and Inspection Report" has been properly completed and returned to the
Snorkel Service Department within ten (10) days after delivery of the Snorkel product to Customer or Dealer's
rental fleet. Snorkel must be notified, in writing, within ten (10) days, of any machine sold to a Customer from
a Dealer's rental fleet during the warranty period.

At the direction of the Snorkel Service Department, any component part(s) of Snorkel products to be replaced
or repaired under this warranty program must be returned freight prepaid to the Snorkel Service Department
for inspection. All warranty replacement parts will be shipped freight prepaid (standard ground) from the
Snorkel Service Department or from Snorkel's Vendor to Dealer or Customer.

REPLACEMENT PARTS WARRANTY

Any replacement or service part made or sold by Snorkel is not subject to the preceding Limited Warranty
beyond the normal warranty period of the machine upon which the part was installed.

THIS WARRANTY EXCLUDES AND SNORKEL DOES NOT WARRANT:

1. Engines, motors, tires and batteries which are manufactured by suppliers to Snorkel, who furnish their

own warranty. Snorkel will, however, to the extent permitted, pass through any such warranty protection
to the Customer or Dealer.

2. Any Snorkel product which has been modified or altered outside Snorkel's factory without Snorkel's

written approval, if such modification or alteration, in the sole judgment of Snorkel's Engineering and/or

any component thereof.

3. Any Snorkel product which has been subject to misuse, improper maintenance or accident. "Misuse"

includes but is not limited to operation beyond the factory-rated load capacity and speeds. "Improper
maintenance" includes but is not limited to failure to follow the recommendations contained in the
Snorkel Operation, Maintenance, Repair Parts Manuals. Snorkel is not responsible for normal
maintenance, service adjustments and replacements, including but not limited to hydraulic fluid, filters and
lubrication.

4. Normal wear of any Snorkel component part(s). Normal wear of component parts may vary with the

type application or type of environment in which the machine may be used; such as, but not limited to
sandblasting applications.

5. Any Snorkel product that has come in direct contact with any chemical or abrasive material.

6. Incidental or consequential expenses, losses, or damages related to any part or equipment failure,

including but not limited to freight cost to transport the machine to a repair facility, downtime of the
machine, lost time for workers, lost orders, lost rental revenue, lost profits or increased cost.

This warranty is expressly in lieu of all other warranties, representations or liabilities of Snorkel, either
