This warranty shall become effective only upon our receipt of a completed Warranty Registration Card,

operation or improper installation or service; 2) Use of an accessory or part not manufactured or sold by

dealer, he may give notice in writing to the Company. We shall then arrange for the inspection and repair,
provided such service is covered under this warranty. Purchaser shall pay for all related transportation
charges and/or travel time. If the service is not covered by this warranty purchaser shall pay for all related
labor and material and any other expenses associated with that service. Any Product or parts shipped by
