AIRSOFT PRODUCT USE & CARE
SECTION 14
MISUSE & CUSTOMER-CAUSED DAMAGE
A manufacturing defect is different from damage caused after supply through inappropriate use or maintenance.
Damage may not be covered as a manufacturing defect where it has been caused by matters such as:
Accidental or deliberate damage.
Using unsuitable BBs or ammunition.
Using an inappropriate battery, charger, gas or power source.
Incorrect charging or battery storage.
Inappropriate lubrication or cleaning products.
Water, dirt, debris or other contamination.
Incorrect dismantling or reassembly.
Installing incompatible parts.
Operating a product contrary to manufacturer instructions.
Normal wear resulting from ordinary use.
This does not remove your statutory rights relating to a separate fault that was present when the product was supplied or that was not caused by the customer's actions.
SECTION 15
BATTERY COMPATIBILITY
Use only a battery chemistry, voltage, discharge capability, connector type and physical size appropriate for the product.
A higher-voltage battery can increase trigger response and rate of fire but may also increase electrical and mechanical stress.
An 11.1V LiPo is not automatically suitable for every AEG.
Where JD or the manufacturer specifies a recommended or maximum battery specification, damage caused by knowingly exceeding that specification may not be treated as a manufacturing defect.
LiPo batteries must be charged using a suitable balance charger and should never be charged unattended.
Do not use batteries that are swollen, punctured or otherwise visibly damaged.
SECTION 16
BBS & AMMUNITION QUALITY
Airsoft products should be used with clean, correctly sized and good-quality ammunition appropriate for the product.
Do not reuse BBs that have already been fired.
Malformed, dirty, damaged or incorrectly sized ammunition can cause feeding problems, barrel obstructions and internal damage.
Damage caused by unsuitable, contaminated or defective third-party ammunition is not itself evidence of a defect in the airsoft gun.
This does not require you to use a particular brand sold by JD unless the product genuinely requires a particular specification.
SECTION 17
GAS, LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
Use gas and lubricants suitable for the particular product, seals, rubbers and materials involved.
Gas-powered airsoft products are temperature sensitive. Changes in temperature can alter pressure, efficiency, cycling and muzzle energy.
Do not overheat magazines, gas containers or airsoft products in an attempt to increase pressure or performance.
Use only appropriate lubricants. Penetrating oils, unsuitable petroleum-based products or other inappropriate chemicals may damage seals, rubbers, plastics and finishes.
The hop rubber and inner barrel should generally be kept free from excess oil or lubricant unless the manufacturer specifically instructs otherwise.
Follow the manufacturer instructions supplied with the product wherever available.
SECTION 18
MODIFICATIONS & DISMANTLING
Airsoft products often permit upgrades and modification. However, incorrect work can cause damage or make fault diagnosis more difficult.
If you believe a recently supplied product is faulty, we recommend contacting JD before dismantling, modifying or replacing components.
Damage directly caused by an unauthorised or incorrectly performed modification may not be covered by a commercial warranty.
Modification does not automatically remove every statutory right. A customer may still have rights relating to an unrelated inherent fault that was not caused by the modification.
