identical in all material respects to the part as described in the
Liquid Combustion Technology, LLC’s application for certification.

is delivered to an ultimate purchaser. The warranty period is two
years.

required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is

or replaced by Liquid Combustion Technology, LLC according to
subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under

period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without
charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty
obligations of Liquid Combustion Technology, LLC

Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-
