GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
6.4 Service Interval
The Mobi Changer should be serviced every 1 year(s). Servicing must only be undertaken by a
Smirthwaite Ltd. service engineer, or by a Smirthwaite Ltd. trained representative.
6.5 Nominal Service Life
Your product has a nominal service life of 7 years, during which full post-sales support will be
available with regard to spares and servicing.
Product service life has been determined based upon the design complexity of product, and the
anticipated exposure to normal use.
Good practice dictates all Smirthwaite Ltd. products have been designed and manufactured to
high levels of safety and quality, and will meet requirements of normal use when maintained in line
with our servicing recommendations.
If the product has been out of use for an extended period of time (6 months or more) it
should always be serviced prior to being reissued. If the product has been subjected to
‘heavy’ or ‘constant’ use, the service should be reduced to half the recommended period.
Constant and/or heavy use is considered to be:
•
Daily use above 7 hours’ duration.
•
Weekly use above 5 days’ duration.
•
Monthly use above 10 months per year.
•
Use by a client who is at 90% to 100% of the maximum weight limit of the product. The
maximum weight limit must NEVER be exceeded.
•
Use by a client who is extremely active, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
6.6 Extending Nominal Service Life
At Smirthwaite Ltd. we are proud to produce products that have a reputation for quality and
durability.
We believe our products have the potential to provide benefits to our clients beyond the nominal
service life documented above.
We will continue to provide full support beyond the nominal service life provided the following
conditions are met:
1. A full service schedule has been maintained.
2. A full service and inspection is undertaken at the end of the nominal service life period.
3. The product is subsequently serviced annually (or biannually if under ‘heavy/constant’ use
conditions).
4. Smirthwaite Ltd. reserve the right to limit support where parts/components are no longer
available.
