5. Maintenance
5.1 Maintaining the Emission Control System
Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems
may be performed by any repair establishment or individual; however, warranty repairs
must be performed by a dealer/service center authorized by WACKER NEUSON. The
use of service 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.
