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.
