recommended size are not used, our warranty is void.
Buyer's only remedy and Aermotor's only duty is to repair or replace defective products (at Aermotor's choice). Buyer agrees to pay all labor and shipping
charges associated with this warranty and to request warranty service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. If warranty service is
requested more than 30 days after the Warranty Period has ended, it will not be honored.
