PAINT FINISH
Paint finishing is covered by the warranty supplied by the paint finisher. A copy of the paint finisher's
warranty is available upon request from the paint finisher or from an ARI Customer Service
Representative. Paint finish is excluded from ARI limited warranties.
ELECTROLYSIS/GALVANIC CORROSION. Electrolysis is caused by two or more dissimilar metals
reacting against each other causing paint to lift and blister. The trucking industry has battled this
problem for many years. Your sleeper comes standard with a protective coating of ECK applied
between all handles, hinges, lights and hardware attachment points. This protective coating is
designed to reduce and control the natural occurring process of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis),
should you remove any of the components where ECK has been applied they must be recoated
prior to reinstallation. Since galvanic corrosion is a naturally occurring process and not a preparation
or paint application problem it is NOT covered under any ARI warranties. Galvanic corrosion is also
EXCLUDED from the paint finisher's warranty. ARI will, however, at its discretion offer some
expense relief on a per call basis if this should occur. General guidelines are as follows:
· Prior to 12 months from the date of delivery to the original purchaser 75% coverage.
· Subsequent to 12 months from the date of delivery to the original purchaser but prior to 24
months from the date of delivery to the original purchaser 50% coverage.
· Subsequent to 24 months from the date of delivery to the original purchaser but prior to 36
months from the date of delivery to the original purchaser 25% coverage.
· Subsequent to 36 months from the date of delivery to the original purchaser 0% coverage.
