Each unit is individually factory tested to ensure proper adjustment and operation. If the unit fails to operate properly, carefully re-read

the instructions to see that they have been followed correctly. Routine maintenance is not required on the pump itself, but associated

connections may require occasional attention. The check valve on the discharge should also be checked for freedom of operation at

the same time.

NOTE: Liberty Pumps, Inc. assumes no responsibility for damage or injury due to disassembly beyond float removal in the field.

Disassembly, other than at Liberty Pumps or its authorized service centers, automatically voids warranty.








3 Year Limited Warranty

Liberty Pumps, Inc. warrants that pumps of its manufacture are free from all factory defects in material and workmanship for a period of

3 years from the date of purchase. The date of purchase shall be determined by a dated sales receipt noting the model and serial

number of the pump. The dated sales receipt must accompany the returned pump if the date of return is more than 3 years from the

"CODE" (date of manufacture) number noted on the pump nameplate. The manufacturer's obligation under this Warranty shall be

limited to the repair or replacement of any parts found by the manufacturer to be defective, provided the part or assembly is returned

freight prepaid to the manufacturer or its authorized service center, and provided that none of the following warranty-voiding

characteristics are evident. The manufacturer shall not be liable under this Warranty if the product has not been properly installed; if it

has been disassembled, modified, abused or tampered with; if the electrical cord has been cut, damaged or spliced; if the pump

discharge has been reduced in size; if the pump has been used in water temperatures above the advertised rating, or water containing

sand, lime, cement, gravel or other abrasives; if the product has been used to pump chemicals or hydrocarbons; if a non-submersible

motor has been subjected to excessive moisture; or if the label bearing the serial, model and code number has been removed. Liberty

Pumps, Inc. shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expenses resulting from installation or use of its products, or for consequential

damages, including costs of removal, reinstallation or transportation. There is no other express warranty. All implied warranties,

including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to two years from the date of purchase. This

Warranty contains the exclusive remedy of the purchaser, and, where permitted, liability for consequential or incidental damages under

any and all warranties are excluded.
