your engine, but MAKITA cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
As the engine owner, you should however be aware that MAKITA
may deny warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due
to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to the nearest
Makita Factory Service Center or Service Center authorized by

responsibilities, you should contact the Makita Warranty Department

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

warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts
authorized by MAKITA in their performance and durability.
