The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance of 
the engine.  Ardisam, Inc. recommends that all receipts and records 
covering the performance of regular maintenance be retained in case 
questions arise.  If the engine is resold during the warranty period, 
the maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent 
owner.  Ardisam, Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if 
the engine has not been properly maintained; however, Ardisam, Inc.
