Return for Repair

Vacuum Pumps: 1 and 2 Year OTC warranties

All warranty statements apply to the PLATINUM^® (2-year OTC), PLATINUM^® FLEX (1-year OTC), and eliminator^® (2-year OTC) pumps.

JB Industries vacuum pumps are warrantied to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for period indicated from the date of purchase. This warranty applies to all repairable instruments that have not been tampered with or damaged through improper use including unauthorized opening of the unit.

Pumps received within warranty period are assessed upon arrival at the JB Industries facility to determine warranty coverage. Wholesaler will be notified of warranty coverage determination. Over-the-counter warranty applies only to manufacturing defects and is VOID if determination has been deemed tool misuse.

To eliminate unnecessary returns and/or costly repairs, verify oil has been changed, and proper pump operation guidelines have been followed prior to requesting a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number.

A. Housing area
B. Broken base
C. Trap
D. Damage to fins or drain valve
E. Sight glass
F. Damage or dents to pump body
G. Broken or bent handle
H. Damaged or missing intake valve

Reasons for Void of Warranty

• Corrosive substances and/or contaminants found in pump
• The pump has been damaged, altered, or components have been removed or are missing

To ensure that no additional charges are incurred due to improper packaging:

1. Drain all oil from pump and close off valves.

2. Place pump in a sealed plastic bag.

F6-DP: 3 year OTC warranty

JB Industries warrants the F6-DP Refrigerant Recovery Machine to be free from defects of materials or workmanship for three years from the date of purchase. JB Industries does not warrant any machine that has been subjected to misuse, negligence, or accident, or has been repaired or altered by anyone other than JB Industries.

The compressor is warrantied for a period of three years by the manufacturer. To keep this warranty in force, a filter (included) must be used on the inlet port or hose at all times to prevent particulates from entering the compressor. Failure to use the included filter will void the compressor warranty.

JB Industries liability is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, a defective machine or part. If a defect arises, a valid claim must be received by JB Industries, with transportation prepaid, no later than thirty (30) days after the warranty period expires. JB Industries will determine whether the machine has malfunctioned due to defective materials or workmanship.
