improper
maintenance:
The _ife of an engine
depends
upon the conditions
under
which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications,
such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used
in dusty or dirty conditions,
which can cause what appears to
be premature
wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust,
spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive
material that has
entered the engine because of improper maintenance,
is not
covered
by warranty.
