1.1 Mechanical warranty for LPP-T pumps
The warranty is valid for 12 months from the delivery date,
excluding the following:
• wear parts, such as gaskets, bearings, and hoses (for
requirements concerning hose manufacturing defects,
see ‘PUMP HOSES’)
• pumps that the first buyer has resold without a written
agreement with the vendor regarding the remaining
portion of the warranty period
• direct or consequential damage caused by structural
changes made to the pump or by the use of parts that are
not approved by the original manufacturer
The purchaser must fill a claim for all compensation related to
the hose and/or pump guarantee within 30 days after the fault
has been detected. For the claim form, refer to Appendix.
If the terms indicated in the claim form are not complied
with, the purchaser loses his or her right to the guarantee.
The guarantee compensates for new parts if any damaged
parts must be replaced. Terms of delivery: packed at the
factory, with no other costs covered.
PUMP HOSES:
The hose of the pump is in contact with the pumped product
and is exposed to wear, high temperatures, pressure shocks,
chemicals and other wearing mechanisms. The pump hose
is therefore considered a wearing part that requires periodic
replacement.
Flowrox pumps have proved reliable in several demanding
applications. However, the operation conditions vary to
the extent that we cannot specify an exact service life or
guarantee period for the hose. The guarantee applies to only
manufacturing defects of the hose.
If there is a manufacturing defect, the customer is entitled to
return the defective hoses to the supplier. The supplier shall
reimburse the customer for the value of the hoses, excluding
the freight charges, packaging costs, and other expenses,
upon the following conditions:
• the pump has been used only for its intended purpose
• for all claims regarding a hose fault, the hose in question,
along with a description of the operational conditions
and method used, has been delivered to Valmet Flow
Control Oy for chemical and mechanical analysis
Possible reimbursement for a faulty hose shall be made only
after the hose examination.
