Reviewer notes
Re-fetched and re-verified 2026-08-31. The URL returns a live 161 KB PDF. WebFetch could not read the compressed streams, so the file was downloaded and its FlateDecode streams inflated locally, and the extracted text read directly. Every claim above was matched against that extracted text. Two claims that appeared in an earlier draft of this bundle were removed because the document does not contain them: that Section 2.F.10 is the classification bucket contractors equipment falls into (an industry inference, not text in the model), and a rendering of group E as Personal Property Floater Risks rather than the actual heading Personal Property Floater Risk covering individuals and/or generally. The Section 2.F.9 limitation sentence and the Section 2.F.10 exclusions were added because omitting them overstated the breadth of those classes. Published: 1996-07-01
