10. Warranty information.
10.3 Warranty period
The warranty is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase provided
the machine is used within the published specification limits.
10.4 Warranty repairs
A Ryval approved service provider must be informed within the warranty
period of any warranty defect. The customer must provide proof of
purchase and serial number of the equipment when making a warranty
claim. Warranty repairs may only be carried out by approved Ryval
service providers. Please contact your local Ryval supplier for more
information.
10.1 Terms of warranty
The TIG 185 DC machine has a limited warranty that covers
manufacturing and material defects only. The warranty is affected on the
day of purchase and does not cover any freight, packaging and insurance
costs. Verbal promises that do not comply with the terms of warranty are
not binding on the warrantor.
10.2 Limitations on warranty
The following conditions are not covered under terms of warranty: loss or
damage due to or resulting from natural wear and tear, non-compliance
with operating and maintenance instructions, connection to incorrect
or faulty voltage supply (including voltage surges outside equipment
specs), incorrect gas pressure overloading, transport or storage damage
or fire or damage due to natural causes (e.g. lightning or flood). This
warranty does not cover direct or indirect expenses, loss, damage or
costs including, but not limited to, daily allowances or accommodation
and travelling costs.
Modification of the primary input plug or fitment of a lower rated
primary input plug will render the warranty null and void.
NOTE
Under the terms of warranty, welding torches and their consumables
are not covered. Direct or indirect damage due to a defective product
is not covered under the warranty. The warranty is void if changes are
made to the product without approval of the manufacturer, or if repairs
are carried out using non-approved spare parts. The warranty is void if a
non-authorised agent carries out repairs.
