purchase.

In General: If a Fan Tech product fails because of defect in material or workmanship under normal use and

maintenance within one year from date of purchase, we will, at our option and after inspection, repair or replace the

defective product.

About your Warranty: Fan products, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts and service to perform well.

Normal use and service means not to operate in excess of recommended maximum speeds, pressures, temperatures

or using uids not recommended or compatible with component materials.

This warranty does not apply to any component which has been repaired or altered to aect the performance

or reliability of the product. Similarly, the warranty is void if the manufacture date or the serial number has been

removed or if the equipment has been altered or modied.

Fan Tech does not warranty components due to normal wear including nozzles, pumps, motors, and seals. Fan

Tech does not warranty components due to misuse, abuse, neglect or improper maintenance, shipping, handling,

warehousing or improper installation. This warranty excludes wear items such as water lters, spray nozzles, or

pumps that have been run without water supplied; damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse,

modications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deteriorations. This warranty excludes

failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.

This warranty does not cover normal maintenance such as oil changes, water lters, adjustments, or cleaning, etc.

This warranty does not cover damage from lack of maintenance (lack of oil or water lter changes) freezing, and

obstruction (due to scale, lime, dirt, chemicals, etc.)

Fan Tech is not responsible for the removal and shipping of the system to Fan tech, the reinstallation of the product

upon its return to the customer, or any incidental or consequential damages resulting from the defect, removal,

reinstallation, or shipment of the product.

Claims: All warranty claims must be submitted to Fan Tech prior to the expiration of the warranty period. Fan Tech

be borne by the purchaser. For warranty service, call Fan Tech for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number.

Products shipped collect or without an RGA number will not be accepted.

If Fan Tech determines that the problem with the product is not due to defects in workmanship or materials, the

customer will be responsible for the cost of any repairs and any freight expense to return the product to the customer.

If the product is covered by this manufacturer’s warranty, then Fan Tech will pay the freight to send the product

back to the customer within the 48 continental United States ONLY.
