The MOM 8-A requires factory-authorized inspection and service every 24 months. If the registration is long overdue, you should have the unit inspected and serviced by an authorized service center as soon as possible. Failure to comply with this requirement may void the warranty and could result in the MOM failing to perform as designed.
