INSTRUCTION MANUAL UPDATING METHODS
ECOTECH ITALIA reserves the right to change the design in order to improve the machine without giving notice to customers,
and without updating the manuals already delivered to end users.
Therefore, in case of changes to machines installed in the customer's premises, as agreed to with the manufacturer and that
bring about changes to one or more chapters of the Instruction Manual, it will be the manufacturer's responsibility to send the
owners of the Instruction Manuals involved in the changes, with a new revised version of the same.
It is the end user's responsibility, following the indications that accompany the updated documentation, to replace in all of the
copies in their possession the old chapters with the new, the introductory page and the table of contents with the new revision.
ECOTECH ITALIA is responsible for the descriptions given in the Italian language; any translations cannot be fully verified,
therefore, if an incongruence were to take place, it is necessary to refer to the Italian language version and if necessary contact
our sales offices, which will provide for any necessary changes.
