Warranty Global Industries Inc. (the Company) makes the following warranty to the initial retail purchaser of its products (the Customer). MATERIALS and WORKMANSHIP: The Company warrants products manufactured by it to be free from defects in materials and workmanship in normal use and service for a period of five (5) years after date of delivery to the Customer.
Maintenance Virtually the only thing that will limit the useful life of your bin is rust. MFS/YORK/STORMOR has specified a galvanized coating on the steel used to fabricate your bin that will give many years of service if properly maintained. However, some rusting over a period of years can be expected with any galvanized products exposed to the weather. We suggest the following: 1. Do not allow the galvanized surfaces of your bin to become cluttered with grain or foreign material.
