THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
You are responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine. You should keep all receipts and main-
tenance 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, WAR-
RANTY REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A DEALER OR SERVICE CENTER AUTHORIZED BY

TEM AND MAY HAVE A BEARING ON THE OUTCOME OF A WARRANTY CLAIM.

are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of compo-
nents affecting emission control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufac-
turer to be equivalent to the parts authorized by
Makita
in their performance and durability.
