Warranty Introduction

Dear OutBack Customer,

Thank you for your purchase of OutBack products. We make every eff ort to assure our power 

conversion products will give you long and reliable service for your renewable energy system.

As with any manufactured device, repairs might be needed due to damage, inappropriate use, or 

unintentional defect. Please note the following guidelines regarding warranty service of OutBack 

products:

•  Any and all warranty repairs must conform to the terms of the warranty.

•  All OutBack equipment must be installed according to their accompanying instructions and 

manuals with specifi ed over-current protection in order to maintain their warranties. 

•  The customer must return the component(s) to OutBack, securely packaged, properly addressed, 

and shipping paid. We recommend insuring your package when shipping. Packages that are 

not securely packaged can sustain additional damage not covered by the warranty or can void 

warranty repairs.

•  There is no allowance or reimbursement for an installer’s or user’s labor or travel time required to 

disconnect, service, or reinstall the damaged component(s). 

•  OutBack will ship the repaired or replacement component(s) prepaid to addresses in the 

continental United States, where applicable. Shipments outside the U.S. will be sent freight 

collect.

•  In the event of a product malfunction, OutBack cannot bear any responsibility for consequential 

losses, expenses, or damage to other components. 

Please read the full warranty at the end of this manual for more information.
