Guarantees For Generating Equipment.

11/06/2011 3:59 AM

If the 365 days of guarantee period expire before completion of 8000 hours of operation, the guarantee shall apply to the actual hours of operation proportionately.

how is proportionate applied?

I mean, if first 365 days are finished, and in the second year - maybe 8000 hours of operation occurs. Then what is meant by 'proportionately' here?

Regards,

sks

You've got the terms of the guarantee we haven't.

But to me a one year equals one year, no more, no less. If you have a problem with this take it up with the manufacturer.

To be honest sauravbabu I don't think you have the authority or competence to question such matters.

It seems like a good offer.

Would say if your xxxx last for say 10000 hours before it broke you enjoyed an additional 2000 hours already and may be required to pay 25% of the repair or replacement cost.

It probably means 1 year or 8000 hours of operation, whichever comes first, is the expiration of the warranty.

I agree with you Mark. The OP would have the equipment running 22 hours a day to exceed the 8000 hours of operation portion of the the warranty.

8,000hours ÷ 365days = 21.917hours of operation per day. So anything less than 21.92hours a day operation then the 365 day portion of warranty, is the end of coverage.

Or if the equipment ran 22 hours a day would be, 365 days x 22hours = 8030hours then the warranty would expire on, (8030hours ÷ 24hours a day) = 334th day of the calender year.
