Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine are
warranted for the term stated in the Limited Warranty
section in this manual. However, due to the Montreal
Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990, many new refrigerants are being tested and
developed, thus seeking their way into the service
industry. Some of these new refrigerants are being
advertised as drop-in replacements for numerous
applications. It should be noted that in the event of
ordinary service to this unit’s refrigeration system, only
the refrigerant specified on the affixed data label should
be used. The unauthorized use of alternate refrigerants
will void your Taylor compressor warranty. It is the
machine owner’s responsibility to make this fact known to
any technician he or she employs.
It should also be noted that Taylor does not warrant the
refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service to
this machine, Taylor has no obligation to either supply or
provide its replacement either at billable or unbillable
terms. Taylor does have the obligation to recommend a
suitable replacement if the original refrigerant is banned,
obsoleted, or no longer available during the 5-year
warranty of the compressor.
Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test new
alternates as they are being developed. Should a new
alternate prove, through our testing, that it would be
accepted as a drop-in replacement, then the above
disclaimer would become null and void. To find out the
current status of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to
your compressor warranty, call the local Taylor distributor
or the Taylor factory. Be prepared to provide the model/
serial number of the machine in question.
