the interior or exterior doors, LP regulator pressure, cabinet latches, TV
antenna control, etc.) will be performed by the dealer during the first 90
days of warranty coverage. Thereafter, such adjustments are the

of the owner as normal maintenance unless required as a
direct result of repair or replacement
of a defective part under this
warranty.

ranty, the owner shall contact the selling dealer, or other authorized
dealer, giving him sufficient information
to resolve the matter. The

to the dealer or manufacturing plant
location for warranty service.
