What information do I need to file a warranty claim?Updated a month ago
Quick Answer
To file a warranty claim, you need: serial number (on equipment frame), purchase date, 2-3 clear photos of the damaged or defective part, equipment model (FT2, M5, etc.), and your shipping address with phone number. Proof of purchase is helpful but not always required - your serial number can often verify warranty status.
Required Information (Must Have)
These items are essential for processing any warranty claim:
1. Serial Number
Your equipment's unique identifier is the most important piece of information.
- Where to find it: Sticker or metal plate on main frame or base of equipment
- Typical location: Rear frame member or base of machine
- Format: Usually 4-XX-XX-XXXXXX
- Label: May say "S/N:", "Serial Number:", or "Serial:"
- Why needed: Verifies your equipment model, manufacturing date, and warranty eligibility
Can't find your serial number? Take photos of your equipment from multiple angles and email to [email protected] - support will guide you to the typical location for your specific model.
2. Purchase Date
The date you bought the equipment determines warranty coverage.
- Exact date preferred: From order confirmation, receipt, or invoice
- Approximate date acceptable: "Purchased in June 2024" or "About 8 months ago"
- Why needed: Determines if you're within 1-year warranty period and 2-year free shipping benefit
- Don't have exact date? Serial number may help verify - provide approximate timeframe
3. Photos of the Issue
Clear photos showing the problem are required for damaged or defective parts.
- How many: 2-3 photos from different angles
- What to show: The damaged area, defect, or broken part clearly visible
- Photo quality: Clear enough to see the issue - not blurry
- Include context: Show how part connects to equipment if possible
- Why needed: Helps support verify issue is covered and identify exact replacement part
For shipping damage: Also include photos of damaged packaging.
4. Equipment Model/Product Name
- Examples: "FT2 Functional Trainer", "M5 Multi-Gym", "Centr 3 Home Gym"
- Why needed: Ensures correct replacement parts are sent
5. Shipping Address and Phone Number
Where replacement parts should be sent and how delivery carrier can contact you.
