1.5.1. General information
This chapter contains the general information on the war-
ranty. Contractual agreements have the highest priority
and are not superseded by the information in this chapter!
The manufacturer is obliged to correct any defects found
in the products it sells, provided that the following requi-
rements have been fulfilled:
•
The defects are caused by the materials used or the
way the product was manufactured or designed.
•
The defects were reported in writing to the manufac-
turer within the agreed warranty period.
•
The product was used only as prescribed.
•
All safety and control devices were connected and
inspected by authorized personnel.
If no other provisions have been made, the warranty peri-
od applies to the first 12 months after initial start-up or to
a max. of 24 months after the delivery date. Other agree-
ments must be made in writing in the order confirmati-
on. These agreements will remain valid at least until the
agreed warranty period of the product has expired.
1.5.2. Spare parts, add-ons and conversions
Only original spare parts as supplied by the manufactu-
rer may be used for repairs, replacements, add-ons and
conversions. Only these parts guarantee a long working
life and the highest level of safety. These parts have been
specially designed for our products. Self-made add-ons
and conversions or the use of non-original spare parts can
seriously damage the product and/or injure personnel.
1.5.3. Maintenance
The prescribed maintenance and inspection work should
be carried out regularly. This work may only be carried out
by qualified, trained and authorized personnel.
The main-
tenance and inspection log supplied must be properly
updated.
This enables you to monitor the status of in-
spections and maintenance work. Quick repairs not listed
in this operation and maintenance manual and all types of
repair work may only be performed by the manufacturer
and its authorized service centres.
1.5.4. Damage to the product
Damage as well as malfunctions that endanger safety
must be eliminated immediately by authorized personnel.
The product should only be operated if it is in proper wor-
king order. During the agreed warranty period, the product
may only be repaired by the manufacturer or an authorized
service workshop! The manufacturer reserves the right to
recall the damaged product to the factory for inspection!
1.5.5. Exclusion from liability
No liability will be assumed for product damage if one or
more of the following points apply:
•
Incorrect design and on our part due to faulty and/
or incorrect information provided by the operator or
customer
•
Non-compliance with the safety instructions, the reg-
ulations and the requirements set forth by German
law and this operating and maintenance manual
•
Incorrect storage and transport
•
Improper assembly/dismantling
•
Improper maintenance
•
Unqualified repairs
•
Faulty construction site and/or construction work
•
Chemical, electrochemical and electrical influences
•
Wear
In case of a power failure or another technical failure, by
which a proper operation of the pump is no longer guar-
anteed, it is essential to take care that damages by an
overflow of the pump sump are prevented securely, for
example, by installing a mains-independent alarm or other
appropriate protective measures.
This means the manufacturer’s liability excludes all liability
for personal, material or financial injury.
