Tie Down Electric Drive Machine - Manual (Page 2)

Warranty Information
Extensive testing by TIE DOWN Employees and an
outside engineering lab has found that the gear case
on the Electric Drive Machine will not crack or break
under normal use conditions.
Normal use conditions are two
people holding the drive machine.
Testing has shown that when extremely hard ground
is encountered, two average size adults cannot hold
the drive machine in place when the anchor ceases
to turn. The installers are turned in a circle when the
anchor cannot be turned in the ground.
Cracking and breaking of the gear case is usually
accomplished by wedging one or both ends of the
drive machine against a home or other stationary
object. The gear case can also be cracked or broken
when the machine is dropped or thrown to the
ground.
When the installer encounters difficult ground,
follow anchor installation instructions found in our
Anchor Installation Manual. This involves pre-digging
part of the hole where the anchor will be installed.
Since we now have tests results from an outside
testing facility, warranty claims on cracked or
broken gear cases will not be honored unless there
is an obvious indicator that there was a manufacturing
defect in the product. If you do not agree with this
policy, please return the drive machine to the place
of purchase for a refund before it is used
.

ufactured by Tie Down Engineering is warrantied

rranty, complete the card enclosed with the drive
