ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you
for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service
Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most
warranty repairs are handled routinely, but
sometimes requests for warranty service may not
be appropriate. For example, warranty service
would not apply if equipment damage occurred
because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance,
shipping, handling, warehousing or improper
installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if 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 its option,
will repair or replace any part that, upon
examination, is found to be defective under normal
use and service. This warranty will not cover the
following repairs and equipment:
