The End User must ensure that only trained operators use the machine.

The End User must notify the Machinery Supplier immediately of any defect or damage likely to give rise to a claim and stop using the Machine.

Failure to submit a claims form within 30 days of the breakdown may result in your claim being denied.

The End User must take precautions to prevent further damage to the Machine following the breakdown.

The End User must retain broken parts for a minimum of 90 days and, if asked, send them for inspection as directed.
