Take

drains.
Flush your unit's maintenance
funds down one.
Flush Uncle Sam's warran±y cos±s
(that's your money, ±oo) down the
o±her.
This's what happens when you fail
²o take advantage of ±he warranty on
your tank, ±ac±ical truck or
commercial-design vehicle.
To begin wi±h, no warranty comes
free. You pay for it³even if you don'±
use it. This goes, too, for your wrist
watch, camera, TV or stereo. The
manufacturer figures it in on what you
pay for ±he item. If he doesn't pay out
anything on warran±y claims, he's tha±
much ahead. And you may even be
offered an extra warran±y ±ha± you Pay
extra for.
Uncle (that's you ´n' you µn' you)
pays extra for some warranties. This is
above ±he cos± of the equipment i±self.
It's hard cash paid out to the
manufac±urer¶even if no claims are
ever made!
Bu± ±here' re ways ±o ge± this money
back³if you're on ±he ball.
