Our warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication, improper
installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase power
through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg, ambient
compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is void.

pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through the installing dealer
as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has expired. This
warranty is not transferable.

STA-RITE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specific legal rights and
You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
