Introduction This manual is intended to aid the user in setup and running practices associated with the SWIWIN SW series micro turbines. This manual is not intended to take the place of a primer on micro-turbines. It is assumed that the user has working knowledge and experience with turbines and that each user is familiar with best practices before attempting to run a turbine.
User accepts full responsibility for all risks including those to any bystanders. User accepts responsibility and bares all risks associated with operation of SWIWIN turbine engines. Warning to Bystanders - User acknowledges the risk of injury or burns to bystanders during start-up or while operating a turbine.
1. The warranty is transferable to any subsequent user. There is a $50 admin fee which will be collected when ownership of the motor is transferred. Please make sure that each user registers the motor with SWIWIN at the time of transfer so that service can be maintained on the motor.
2. SWIWIN will cover labor charges associated with any warranty repair. 3. SWIWIN warranty coverage is limited to replacement of parts and repair of the unit and does not apply to any other losses or damages, consequential or inconsequential to the failure.
If the estimate is refused, the turbine will be returned to the user. Owner agrees to cover all return shipping costs. 10. This document constitutes the entire warranty between SWIWIN and the owner and supersedes all prior agreements and/or understandings.
