WARRANTY
MD MACHINES
FCT 1460 is delivered with an electronic metal detector system (MD) which registers
ferrous metal parts the moment they pass the sensor in the lower front feed roller.
During tests in the field with a range of common metal parts it has been possible to
detect 95 % of the parts and stop the feed rollers before the blade rotor of the
machine has been damaged seriously.
Though an MD cannot stop foreign matter such as: Stone, wood and tools made of
chromium-nickel steel, it will provide a considerably higher safety against damage
and operational stop, as most wearing parts from agricultural machinery which may
be lost in the field, are made of ferrous metal. Furthermore there will be a higher
security that there are no metal parts in the chopped crop for the herd.
The following special warranty rules apply to machines delivered with an MD
from Kongskilde Industries A/S:
- The MD manufactured by Kongskilde Industries A/S is optional equipment which
can only be delivered to some specific models from Kongskilde Industries A/S.
- The MD will register a ferrous metal part the moment it passes the front feed roller
of the machine, and immediately after it will send an electrical signal to a control unit
which will block the feed intake section by means of a signal to an electrically
activated stop system before the metal part reaches the blade rotor. The MD can
only register ferrous metal parts (metal parts containing iron). Tests have shown a
registration guarantee of 95 %.
- All the components of the MD which have defects in material or manufacturing
faults when delivered to the first buyer will be repaired or replaced free of charge for
parts or labour costs if a warranty claim has been sent to one of Kongskilde
Industries A/S's authorised dealers without undue delay. However, this does not
apply if the fault does not occur until 12 months after delivery or if the general
submission time for warranty claims is not observed.
However, the warranty does not apply to damage caused by normal wear, accidents
for which nobody is at fault, insufficient maintenance, inadequate storage or
unintended use. General maintenance and replacement costs must still be paid by
the buyer.
- The warranty will be invalidated if the construction or adjustment of the equipment is
changed to an extent which has not been approved by Kongskilde Industries A/S.
- As the MD will not register all common ferrous metal parts, no warranty can be
granted for damage caused by insufficient registration or blockage.
