1.  WARRANTY 

Your Ultrasonic Processor is warranted and backed by the manufacturer for a period of 3 years 
from the date of shipment against defects in material and workmanship under normal use as 
described in this instruction manual. During the warranty period, the manufacturer will, at its 
option, as the exclusive remedy, either repair or replace without charge for material and labor, 
the part(s) which prove to be defective, provided the unit is returned to us properly packed with 
all transportation charges prepaid. 

Ultrasonic probes are guaranteed against defects for a period of one year from date of 
shipment. A defective probe will be replaced once without charge, if failure occurs within the 
warranty period. Wear resulting from cavitation erosion is a normal consequence of ultrasonic 
processing, and is not covered by this warranty. 

The manufacturer neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for it any other 
obligations or liability in connection with the sale of its products. The manufacturer hereby 
disclaims any warranty of either merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. No person or 
company is authorized to change, modify, or amend the terms of this warranty in any manner or 
fashion whatsoever. Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be liable to the purchaser 
or any other person for any incidental or consequential damages or loss of goodwill, production, 
or profit resulting from any malfunction or failure of its product. 

This warranty does not apply to equipment that has been subject to unauthorized repair, 
misuse, abuse, negligence or accident. Equipment which shows evidence of having been used 
in violation of operating instructions, or which has had the serial number altered or removed, will 
be ineligible for service under this warranty. 

All probes are manufactured to exacting specifications and are tuned to vibrate at a specific 
frequency. Using an out-of-tune probe will cause damage to the equipment and may result in 
warranty nullification. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for probes fabricated by 
another party or for consequential damages resulting from their usage. 

The aforementioned provisions do not extend the original warranty period of any product that 
has either been repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
