d) If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjust-

ment of other controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore

the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance

- this indicates a need for service.

20)Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci­fied by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as
the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
