The warranty shall begin on the date such vehicle is delivered to the first <br />purchaser. During this warranty period, AEV will remedy by repair or replacement, at AEV’s option, any item <br />of AEV’s manufacture which AEV’s inspection determines to be defective in materials or workmanship. Such <br />repair or replacement will be performed either at the AEV plant or by AEV Field Service Technicians in the field, <br />or by an AEV authorized regional Service Center, at AEV’s option. <br />All warranty claims must be submitted to and approved by AEV prior to repair. <br />Exclusions from warranty: This warranty shall not apply to: <br />A. Any parts or products becoming defective as the result of the Owner’s negligence, accident, or other <br />casualty. <br />B.Defects or failure resulting from Owner’s failure to provide normal maintenance, such as (but not limited to) <br />lubrication, tightening belts and bolts, cleaning coils, loss of refrigerant, drier replacement, improper voltage <br />or electrical connections as a result of field installations. <br />C.

The <br />modular body is covered under a separate Modular Body Warranty. <br />This warranty does not apply to any portion of the truck or chassis not directly included in the process of <br />alteration. The process of alteration includes all materials added to and work accomplished on the original <br />chassis by AEV, such as modification, alteration or moving or any OEM equipment. <br />AEV reserves the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time to make changes in the design of and/or <br />improvements on its products without thereby imposing an obligation on itself to make corresponding changes <br />or improvements in or on its previously manufactured products. <br />The foregoing warranty is completely void if the body, chassis and/or truck has sustained damages as the result <br />of a wreck, abuse or other occurrence which would leave permanent latent defects, or if the AEV serial number <br />has been removed. Normal use and service under the terms of this warranty shall specifically exclude the use <br />of the vehicle beyond its gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) as defined under the National Traffic and Motor <br />Vehicle Safety Act or other applicable law. <br />The buyer shall contact the Warranty Department of AEV, 165 American Way, Jefferson, NC 28640, 336-846-8010, <br />for authorization for correction of all deficiencies covered by this warranty. <br />CONDITIONS: <br />A.This warranty is valid only in the United States of American and this AEV product is sold without any <br />warranty, express or implied, if used or sold outside the United States. <br />B.AEV reserves the right to make changes in design or improvements to its products or parts thereof without <br />obligation to make or install such changes in any previously built product. <br />C.AEV neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for it any obligation or warranty other than that <br />stated in this warranty. <br />D.
