If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should
contact the Makita Warranty Service Department at 1-800-4-MAKITA for the information.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE EMISSION CONTROLL 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 MAKITA FACTORY SERVICE CENTER 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 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 Makita Factory
Service Center or service center authorized by MAKITA. In the event that any
emission-related part is found to be defective during the warranty period, you shall notify
Makita Warranty Service Department at 1-800-4-MAKITA and you will be given the
appropriate warranty service facilities where the warranty repair can be performed.
