GUARANTEE

Whisper Power 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. The functioning
of this generating set 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 and and are available on
request. Some aspects of our warranty scheme are given
here in more detail: The guarantee period is two years,
limited to 1000 running hours. 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. Refer to
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. If in doubt ask!
the
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.
