MAINTENANCE
The following maintenance must be performed for the product to operate as intended. Failing to do so voids the warranty.
MAINTENANCE PLAN
Every twelve months:
•
To check for proper function, a full open/close operation must be performed. Long periods without use can cause
the gaskets to get stuck in place. The gate should operate smoothly and without sudden resistance. Jerking
motion is a sign of sticking gaskets.
•
Refill the bearing housing with bearing grease using the grease nipple. SKF LGWA 2/0.4 or similar is recommended
for 0-40°C. For temperatures below freezing a lower viscosity grease is recommended. (Only applies to SPS-TG,
SPK-TG, SPM-P-TG, SPM-S-TG)
•
Reapply a water-resistant grease to the spindle (I.e. Chesterton 629)
•
Clean the gate of any growths or buildup filth.
•
Inspect the gaskets for any signs of cracks or wear.
•
Retighten the bolts and screws.
•
Inspect the gate for visual signs of damage. If any significant damage is found, please contact Wapro for advice.
WAPRO A/S WARRANTY
Wapro will remedy defects in material and/or workmanship in any new Wapro valve for a period of two (2) years from
the documented date of purchase so long as the valve has been used in accordance with Wapros instructions and
recommendations and under normal operating conditions. The warranty does not cover damage to the valve caused
by external mechanical forces, such as interference from humans, animals or machines, nor is the warranty valid if the
valve has been modified or altered in any way post-production. Furthermore, the warranty is not valid (a) if the valve
is damaged due to exposure to high concentrations of chemical substances, (b) if the valve is damaged because of
pressure spikes, water hammering or vacuums exceeding the rated limits, (c) the warranty is invalid if flow velocity
exceeds what is recommended, and (d) if malfunctions are caused by other equipment.
To request warranty service, the buyer should contact the WaGate dealer where the valve was purchased within a
reasonable time after discovering any defects. The valve serial number or order number must be quoted in the case of a
warranty claim. Wapros liability is limited to the replacement or repair of the defective valve. Wapro will not assume costs
incurred for removal of defective valves or subsequent installation of replacement valves. Furthermore, Wapro will not
assume transportation costs of damaged valves or replacement valves. Wapro warrants that repaired or replaced valves
are covered for the greater of either the remainder of the original valve warranty or 90 days. THE WARRANTY EXPRESSED
ABOVE SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
