In this service manual we have worked hard to include many repair scenarios in addition to the recommended
products, practices, and routine maintenance required to keep your floats in working order.
When a float part is significantly changed or an additional inspection recommended or required, often a service
letter and/or kit is issued. If a warranty is issued, most commonly it is for an 18 month time period, so it is crucial
to check for service letters specific to your float model at each periodic inspection to be eligible.
Service Manuals and the installation prints included are also revised periodically and also need to be kept
updated. Service letters, service kits and Service manuals are available on our website
www.wipaire.com
at no
charge.
CHECKING FOR THESE UPDATES SHOULD BE A PART OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
