1.3 Testing, guarantee and liability
Testing
Before being sent to the dealer/buyer, the machine must successfully pass testing by the manufacturer.
Guarantee
DIAMOND guarantees the machines put on the market for 12 months from the date of delivery. During the guarantee period
the manufacturer undertakes to substitute, free of charge ex works, any parts which may develop a fault due to obvious
manufacturing defects or poor quality materials. Parts substituted remain the property of DIAMOND and must be returned
to its premises, free of all charges. If the substitution of defective machine parts requires work by technical personnel,
labour costs and any travel and accommodation expenses will be charged to the buyer. Top ups of refrigerant gas are not
covered by the guarantee. The guarantee shall be void if the machine is used in a way that does not conform to what is
indicated in the manufacturer’s “operating and maintenance manual”. The guarantee shall be void if the operator, delib-
permission from the manufacturer. The guarantee shall also be void if the electric and water connections used to supply
the machine, (which are the buyer’s responsibility), are made in a way that does not conform to what is indicated in the
machine “operating and maintenance manual”. Interruption of the payment agreed in the sales proposal and accepted by
the manufacturer will result in suspension of the guarantee.
Liability
DIAMOND declines any responsibility and obligation for any incident involving persons and objects resulting from use of the
machine in any way that does not conform to what is indicated in the “operating and maintenance manual” and/or due to
manufacturing defects of the components/materials present in the machine. It shall also be considered expressly excluded
from any other claim for reimbursement for lost earnings attributable to any failure to operate.
1.4 Purpose of the manual
This manual was drawn up with the aim of providing all machine operators, in the most complete and clearest way possible,
with all information necessary for machine installation, use and routine maintenance, from the time the machine reaches
the market until the moment it is decommissioned and/or scrapped.
It also lists all procedures useful for dealing with emergencies which may arise during use of the machine as described by
the manufacturer and those which are reasonably foreseeable.
Important note: the manual does not substitute technical training for personnel who will use the ma-
chine. It should be considered a guide to the use of machine functions.
1.4.1 Structure of the manual
interpretation and implementation of the activities required for machine operation and maintenance.
This manual includes all instructions with which the operator must be familiar and information which the operator may
consult in order to achieve the aims of the manual.
