OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Dolmar recom- mends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but Dolmar cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all sched- uled maintenance. As the engine owner, you should however be aware that Dolmar may deny warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unap- proved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to the nearest service dealer authorized by Dolmar when a problem exists.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY:
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
You are responsible for the proper maintenance of the engine. You should keep all receipts and maintenance records covering the per- formance of regular maintenance in the event questions arise.
These receipts and maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the engine. Dolmar reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly main- tained. Warranty claims will not be denied, however, solely because of the lack of required maintenance or failure to keep maintenance records.
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF EMISSION CON- TROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL; HOWEVER, WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A SERVICE DEALER AUTHO- RIZED BY Dolmar. THE USE OF PARTS THAT ARE NOT EQUIVALENT IN PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY TO AUTHORIZED PARTS MAY IMPAIR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM AND MAY HAVE A BEARING ON THE OUTCOME OF A WARRANTY CLAIM.
If other than the parts authorized by Dolmar are used for mainte- nance replacements or for the repair of components affecting emis- sion control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts autho- rized by Dolmar in their performance and durability.
