Warranty Policy
TARP MOTOR WARRANTY
Tarp motors are under warranty from the moment they leave our shipping warehouse until the pre-determined length of the warranty has come due (3 or 5 years). We have a system in place that tracks motor serial numbers from the time they are invoiced up until the expiration of the warranty. The standard procedure for activating a motor warranty is as follows:
- Ensure that the motor has not been physically damaged in any way. External damage to the motor caused by loaders, falling debris, tree limbs, etc. automatically voids the warranty.
- Ensure that the motor has not been separated from the gear box. Our tarp motors are married to the gear box. This helps us guarantee safe operation and any attempt to open the motor or gear box automatically voids the warranty.
- Ensure that the circuit breaker is properly installed. Using the tarp motor with an improperly or not installed circuit breaker voids the warranty of the tarp motor. The circuit breaker controls the flow of electricity to the motor reducing damages by power surges.
- Call your sales representative at Tarping USA at 888-577-5218. At this time the sales representative will ask you a few questions about the tarp motor to include the three items listed above and the sales representative will confirm that the tarp motor’s serial number is in fact under warranty and for the customer to provide a proof of purchase.
- Box up and ship back the defective unit and Proof of Purchase to:
Product warranties are started from the initial invoice date. The purchaser must have proof of sale before any items may be submitted for warranty. The buyer is responsible for the return shipping and any charges incurred for a product needing warranty evaluation. The warranty claim will be evaluated and decided by Tarping USA, if an item meets the warranty requirements a replacement will be issued. The product warranty may not be used for any cash value or refund. All returned items MUST have a Return Merchandise Authorization prior to the item being shipped back to the manufacturer. If an item does not meet the warranty requirements it will be sent back to the purchaser, at the purchaser's expense or it will be disposed of.
MANUFACTURERS GUARANTEE
