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.
