8. Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. You should
clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a dry cloth to prevent accumulation of
dust and dirt. At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals.
9. Warranty
We warrant this product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12
months from the date of purchase and will repair or replace any defective Go Power!
Inverter when directly returned, postage prepaid, to the manufacturer. This warranty will
be considered void if the unit has suffered any obvious physical damage or alteration
either internally or externally, and does not cover damage arising from improper use such
as plugging the unit into an unsuitable power sources, attempting to operate products
with excessive power consumption requirements, reverse polarity, or use in unsuitable
climates.
This is the only warranty and the company makes no other warranties, express or
implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Repair or replacement are your sole remedies and shall not be liable for damages,
