THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
You are responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. You should keep all receipts and
maintenance records covering the performance of regular maintenance in the event questions arise. These receipts
and maintenance records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the engine. Makita reserves the
rights to deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly maintained. Warranty claims will not be
denied, however, solely because of the lack of required maintenance or failure to keep maintenance records.
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 OR SERVICE
CENTER AUTHORIZED BY Makita. THE USE OF 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.
If other than the parts authorized by Makita are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of components
affecting emission control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to the parts authorized by Makita in their performance and durability.
HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM
All repairs qualifying under this limited warranty must be performed by a service dealer authorized by MAKITA.
In the event that any emission-related part is found to be defective during the warranty period, you shall notify
MAKITA at the following contacts and you will be advised of the appropriate warranty service dealer or
service providers where the warranty repair can be performed.
