To return equipment to Moore Industries for repair, follow these four steps:

1.  Call Moore Industries and request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number.

Warranty Repair –
If you are unsure if your unit is still under warranty, we can use the unit’s serial number
to verify the warranty status for you over the phone.  Be sure to include the RMA
number on all documentation.

Non-Warranty Repair –
If your unit is out of warranty, be prepared to give us a Purchase Order number when
you call.  In most cases, we will be able to quote you the repair costs at that time.
The repair price you are quoted will be a “Not To Exceed” price, which means that the
actual repair costs may be less than the quote.  Be sure to include the RMA number on
all documentation.

2.

Provide us with the following documentation:

a)

A note listing the symptoms that indicate the unit needs repair

b)

Complete shipping information for return of the equipment after repair

c)

The name and phone number of the person to contact if questions arise at the factory

3.

Use sufficient packing material and carefully pack the equipment in a sturdy shipping
container.

4.

Ship the equipment to the Moore Industries location nearest you.

The returned equipment will be inspected and tested at the factory.  A Moore Industries
representative will contact the person designated on your documentation if more information is
needed.  The repaired equipment, or its replacement, will be returned to you in accordance with
the shipping instructions furnished in your documentation.
