caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.

Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the
product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical
corrosion damage.
improper maintenance or repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or
