The policy lists "1 year / 1000 hours full warranty coverage" and "2 year / 2000 hours warranty on structure (i.e. not hydraulic component)".

Coverage starts when a formal commissioning has been completed after delivery. The customer calls Shearex Technical Support to plan the start-up and training.
