| New Product -
8-Inch Sand Fighter? |
| |
| Franklin Electric is pleased to announce the latest addition to the Sand Fighter product line - the 8-Inch Sand Fighter?. The 8-Inch Sand Fighter? uses the same exclusive sealing system as the highly successful 6-Inch Sand Fighter? introduced last year. Now, Sand Fighter? is available in all-standard 6-Inch and 8-Inch voltages and horsepowers. |
|
| This means that there are now two choices for fresh water applications: Franklin?s standard water well motor seal construction or the exclusive Sand Fighter? sealing system. For corrosive environments, the Sand Fighter? sealing system is standard in Franklin Electric?s 6-inch Ni-Resist construction. It is also standard in both 6- and 8-inch, 316 Stainless Steel motors and all 8-inch Severe Duty motors. |

| Large Motor Warranty Procedures |
|
For OEMs, Distributors, and FAMS Shops (Note: This applies to the U.S. and Canada only) |
| |
| Last year, Franklin Electric announced an improved warranty procedure for 6- and 8-inch motors that provides immediate warranty disposition for our OEM customers, distributors, and Franklin Authorized Motor Service (FAMS) shops. This simple procedure provides warranty disposition within one business day. If you are not already familiar with it, here?s how it works: |
|
| 1. If a warranty situation occurs, the OEM, distributor, or FAMS shop should obtain a Warranty Claim form (2723) from the Franklin Electric Service Hotline by calling 800-348-2420. |
|
2. Complete the Warranty Claim form, and fax to: 260-827-5102
Be sure to include a contact name, a telephone number, and a return fax number.
|
|
| 3. A Franklin Electric Headquarters Service Engineer will review the claim within one business day. In a few cases, he may contact the originator for clarification prior to approval. Approved warranties will be faxed back to the originator of the claim; that is, the pump OEM, distributor or FAMS shop. In any case, warranty disposition will be returned within one business day after receipt of the original fax. Shipping and handling instructions (including preferred freight carriers for returning the motor) will be included with the approved warranty. |
|
| 4. Once approved, the originator can take the Franklin approved warranty form to his local FAMS shop and exchange the warranted motor for a replacement;
? OR ?
the originator can ship the motor, freight collect, directly to Franklin Electric. The original warranty claim should be included with the shipment. Since Franklin Electric can only reimburse one ?leg? of return freight, motors should be shipped directly to Franklin rather than through the OEM. |
|
| 5. Fax or mail the Bill of Lading to Franklin Electric. Credit or replacement of the failed motor will be issued upon receipt (fax). If a Bill of Lading is not received, credit or replacement will be issued upon receipt of the motor. Credit or replacement will issued through the OEM or FAMS shop processing the claim. |
|
| If you have any questions, call Franklin?s Submersible Service Hotline at 800-348-2420 |
