The main warranty period starts from the date the inverter equipment is sold to the end
customer.
During the main warranty period, the seller undertakes, free of charge for the owner of

- to make diagnostics and identify the cause of the malfunction,

- to carry out work to replace the failed elements and assemblies,
- to test the repaired equipment.
The main warranty obligations do not apply to the equipment:

housing and parts as a result of falling from a height or falling of heavy objects on the
equipment, falling out of buttons and connectors),
- with traces of corrosion, which caused a malfunction,
- failed due to exposure of abundant moisture to its power and electronic elements,
- failed due to the accumulation of conductive dust inside (coal dust, metal shavings, etc.),
- in case of an attempt to independently repair its components and/or replace electronic
elements,
- it is recommended to clean the internal elements and assemblies of this equipment, with
compressed air, to remove the protective cover, depending on the operating conditions,
once every six months, in order to avoid the breakdown of the unit. Cleaning should be done
carefully, keeping the compressor hose at a sufficient distance to avoid damage to the
soldering of the electronic components and mechanical parts.

following are accepted no later than two weeks after the sale:
