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.

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,

ers where the warranty repair can be performed.
