Guarantee

WhisperPower guarantees that this generating set has
been built according to good workmanship, according to the
specifications in this manual and according to European
Community safety regulations.
During production and prior to delivery, all of our generating
sets are tested and inspected.
This generating set's correct operation is subject to
guarantee. The period and conditions of this guarantee are
laid down in the general conditions of delivery as registered
with the Chamber of Commerce and Industries for the North
of the Netherlands number 01120025. The guarantee
period is two years, limited to 1000 running hours. Some
aspects of our guarantee scheme are given here in more
detail:
Guarantee does not cover failures that are caused by
misuse, neglect or a faulty installation.
Example 1. Faulty installation:
Seawater entering the engine is the most common cause of
damage to combustion engines in boats. (Both to
propulsion and generator engines.) The entry of water must
be avoided under all conditions. Be aware that the
conditions in blue water sailing can be extreme. See the
installation manual for instructions but remember these are
for guidance only as many factors influence the installation
of a generator. The ultimate responsibility will always be
with the owner to ensure a safe and compliant installation.
WARNING
Damage caused by the ingress of water is
never covered by guarantee.
Example 2: Misuse:
Long term running with no load or too little load can cause
the exhaust to get choked with soot or carbon. Cleaning the
exhaust is not covered by guarantee.
Example 3: Neglect
Sometimes the seal of the raw water pump starts leaking.
Mostly this begins with a little drip and slowly gets worse.
Regular visual inspection of the generator is necessary to
prevent damage to occur from a leaking water pump. When
one find serious damage after weeks of neglect guarantee
claims will not be honoured.
