WarraNty FYBROC pumps are warranted by the Company, insofar as the same are of its own manu-
facture, against defects in materials and workmanship under proper and normal use and
service, for a period of one year from the date of original shipment from the factory.
FYBROC’s obligation is limited, however, to furnishing without charge, F.O.B. its factory,
new parts to replace any similar parts of its own manufacture so proving defective within
said period, provided the Buyer has given FYBROC immediate written notice upon discov-
ery of such defect. No allowance will be made for labor charges. FYBROC shall have the
option of requiring the return of the defective material, transportation prepaid, to establish
the claim.
FYBROC makes no warranty or guarantee whatsoever, either express or implied, of prime
mover, starting equipment, electrical apparatus, parts or material not manufactured by
Fybroc, except to the extent that warranty is made by the manufacturer of such equipment
and material.
FYBROC assumes no liability for damages or delays caused by defective material, and no
allowance will be made for local repair bills or expenses without the prior written approval
or authority of FYBROC.
Under no circumstances will FYBROC be liable for indirect, special or consequential loss or
damage of any kind and the Buyer assumes all liability for the consequences of its use or
misuse by the by the Buyer, his employees, or others.

perFormaNce Is at the specified point of rating only and will not cover performance under conditions vary-
guaraNtee ing therefrom, nor for sustained performance over any period of time.

acceptaNce If required, shall be conducted in accordance with the practices as set forth in the Hydraulic
tests Institute Standards. The expense of any such tests shall be borne by the buyer.

perFormaNce Are based on shop laboratory tests with cold water as outlined in the Hydraulic Institute

Field testiNg Due to the inaccuracies of field testing, the results of any such tests conducted by or for
the Buyer shall be interpreted as being only indicative of the actual field performance of the
pump. No equipment will be furnished on the basis of acceptance by results of field tests.
If the buyer, after such a test, questions the performance of the pump, he may at his option
request a test to establish the performance. Such tests will be conducted in accordance
with the above paragraph entitled “Acceptance Tests.”

all WarraNties Are void if -

a. Pipe strains are the cause of damage.
b. Pump handles liquids other than those specified in detail.
c. NPSH lower than required by pump impeller.
d. Operating speed is higher than specified.
e. Improper field installation.
