THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY:

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

You are responsible for the proper maintenance of the engine. You should keep all receipts and maintenance records covering the per- formance 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 right to deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly main- tained. 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 CON- TROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL; HOWEVER, WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A SERVICE DEALER AUTHO- RIZED BY MAKITA. THE USE OF PARTS THAT ARE NOT EQUIVA- LENT 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 WAR- RANTY CLAIM.

If other than the parts authorized by MAKITA are used for mainte- nance replacements or for the repair of components affecting emis- sion control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts autho- rized by MAKITA in their performance and durability.

HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM

All repair qualifying under this limited warranty must be performed by a service dealer authorized by MAKITA. In the event that any emis- sion-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 provid- ers where the warranty repair can be performed.
