2 Guarantee conditions 4

In these guarantee conditions, 'FM' is understood to mean Fluid Management Europe.
The guarantee conditions incorporated into FM's general conditions of sale are summarized as

follows (for free general conditions you can apply to FM):

1. FM guarantees the proper operation of any goods which it supplies, for a period of one year,
except where a breakdown is the result of normal wear and tear. The cost of any inspection
activities carried out by FM, with the aim of establishing whether or not a breakdown is covered
by the guarantee, will be reimbursed by the other party if it transpires that the breakdown is not
covered by the guarantee. If it transpires that a breakdown is covered by the guarantee, then FM
will supply identical or equivalent goods under the conditions referred to in point 6 of the general
conditions of sale. The guarantee obligation described in this article only applies if the goods
supplied by FM have been used in accordance with the manual. Time spent on guarantee­related activities, including travel time, travel costs and accommodation costs, are charged at
current rates.

2. In contrast to the above, FM will not be held to any guarantee obligation if
a) repairs have been carried out, or attempted, by the other party or a third party, unless FM

had previously declined to repair the goods for a fair price;
b) FM demonstrates that the defect did not emerge during testing;
c) the other party fails to inform FM of the defect immediately, if possible either by letter

and/or by fax, providing full, accurate details and/or has failed to comply fully with FM's

instructions;
d) the other party has failed to use or treat the goods properly or in accordance with FM's

instructions;
e) the damage has been caused by incidents, beyond FM's supervision, which have occurred

either during transport or installation.

3. In the following text, the expression "Software" will be understood to mean the standard
computer software supplied by FM to the other party, recorded on a computer-readable storage
medium, plus the accompanying documentation (Software Manual) and including any improved
and/or new versions supplied. The expression "processing unit" (PU) is understood to mean the
machine for which and with which the Software is supplied, and which is the sole machine on
which the Software may be used.

4. The other party is authorized to copy the Software either in its entirety, or in part, (up to a
maximum of 2 copies) for purposes of internal security. These copies will be furnished with the
same marks, designations relating to copyright and other registration numbers as the original
version of the Software.

5. The other party will neither amend, translate, decompile nor adapt the Software, nor convert it
into source code, without express written permission from FM. If the other party so requests, FM
will provide that party with the information required to render the Software interoperable with
other software.

6. In the event that the PU experiences a breakdown, the other party may use the software on
another processing unit until the PU is again operational. The other party will inform FM of this
within 5 days.

7. If it is a requirement that the Software be definitively transferred from the PU to another
processing unit then the other party shall request permission from FM, which will not withhold
such permission on unreasonable grounds.

3 Safety instructions and warnings 5

Before installing the equipment and setting it in operation, read the instructions for use
carefully. This is safer for you and it prevents needless damage to the machine.

The manufacturer accepts no liability if the instructions below are not followed:

• If a machine has been damaged (during transport, for example), do not attempt to set it in
operation. When in doubt, first contact either the Service department (see section 6.4) or your
supplier.

• The equipment should be positioned and connected up in strict accordance with the installation
instructions.

• All local safety regulations and ordinances should be observed.

• The machine may be connected only to a 230 V / 50 Hz / 60 Hz earthed wall socket installed in

accordance with the regulations.

• Users should see to it that the machine is kept in good condition. Defective components should
be replaced.

• In order to prevent physical injury, the doors should be closed and the panelling fitted during
normal use.

• Keep the keys of the machine in a special, safe place.

• All service activities (other than routine adjustments) may only be carried out by qualified

technicians. See to it that the mains lead is always kept unplugged while repairs are being
carried out.

• The standard equipment is only suitable for dispensing water-based color pastes into tins of basic
paint. The use of other solvents may damage the sealing rings and cause the equipment to leak.
The equipment can, however, be adapted for use with other solvents.

• Because of the design of the valve, a nozzle drill may never be used. Cleaning is done by
running the cleaning program.
