and
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
are available on request. The guarantee period is two
years, limited to 1000 running hours. Some aspects of our
warranty scheme are given here in more detail:
the Guarantee period 1000 running hours or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Warrantee does not cover failures
that are caused by misuse, neglect or a faulty installation.
Example 1: Faulty installation:
Overheating of the engine or alternator is the most
common cause of problems with mobile generating sets.
These problems are caused by poor circulation of the
cooling liquid due to wrong routing of the pipes to the
radiator: bents will capture air bubbles causing "air-lockes"
blocking the circulation of the liquid. Other examples of
installation problems are hot air circulation into the radiator
and the radiator fan sucking exhaust gasses into the
radiators.
The generator and other parts should be protected against
the influences of the weather and splashing water (with dirt
and salt) below the vehicle. Refer the installation manual.
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 warrantee.
Example 3: Neglect
Whisper generators have an option for an auto start/stop
mode or interval mode.
Whisper Power cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by the unattended running generator.
Warranty means that faulty parts are repaired or replaced
free of charge. If necessary the whole generator unit will
be exchanged. Labour necessary to complete repairs on
