Six Month Limited Warranty on Parts and Workmanship

 

Purchaser’s only remedy and seller’s only liability shall be to repair or replace materials provided by the purchaser to be 
defective and returned to seller with a copy of purchaser’s receipt. Seller shall not be liable for any injury, expenses, profits, 
loss or damage, direct, incidental, or consequential, or any other pecuniary loss arising out of the use or inability to use the 
product in question even if seller has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states do not allow the 
exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. 
 
It is purchaser’s responsibility to notify seller of suspected defects as soon as purchaser becomes aware of them, and to 
follow seller’s instructions to minimize further damage. Seller is not responsible for damage resulting from purchaser’s 
inaction. 
 
Exhaust gas temperatures are intended only for use as a tuning tool. Due to differences in installation and airflow the reported 
temperature at the probe may be substantially different from the temperature inside the cylinder. The determination of such 
differences is the sole responsibility of the user of the equipment. 
 

CSI assumes no liability for probes. Temperature probes are covered by ‘Exhaust Gas Technologies’ warranty. For 
warranty information on temperature probes contact EGT at 1-800-348-4678.
