damageoccurred becauseof misuse,lack ofroutine maintenance,shipping, handling,warehousing orimproper installation.Similarly, thewarranty is voidif the

manufacturing date or the serial number on the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified. During the warranty period, the

Authorized Service Dealer, at i ts option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal use and service.This
