This warranty does not cover minor accessories or attachments or consumable parts, including but not limited to, chainsaw chains, pull starts, cutting blades or discs, instrument strings, product bags and cases, and carry straps etc. Examination by the company of such goods (or photos of the faulty goods if requested) shall disclose to its satisfaction that such defects exist and have not been caused by misuse, neglect, accident, improper storage, installation or handling, other incorrect or lack of proper maintenance, opening cartons with blades, or by repair or alteration not affected by the company. Further item specific failures for products such as fuel powered products, trampolines, outdoor structures (gazebos, tents, and umbrellas), bedding, and pool covers are detailed later in this document.

When the cover is stored off the pool it must be stored rolled, not folded, and be kept out of sunlight and excessive heat until it is installed back onto the pool surface.

GAZEBOS, TENTS, TRAMPOLINES and GARDEN UMBRELLAS:
