apply if this product has been operated and maintained in  
accordance with the Operator’s Manual furnished with the  
product, and has not been subject to misuse, abuse, com-  
mercial use, neglect, accident, improper maintenance,

Normal wear parts or components thereof are subject to  
separate terms as follows: All normal wear part or compo-  
nent failures will be covered on the product for a period of
