STA-RITE warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) of the products listed below, that they will be free 
from defects in material and workmanship for the Warranty Period shown below.

Our warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication, 
improper installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase 
power through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg, 
ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and STA-RITE’s only duty, is that STA-RITE repair or replace defective products (at STA-RITE’s choice). You 
must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through the installing 
dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has 
expired. This warranty is not transferable.
STA-RITE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, 
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 
PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on the duration of an 
implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specific legal rights and 
You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This Limited Warranty is effective June 1, 2011 and replaces all undated warranties and warranties dated before June 1, 2011.
