OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual.
MAKITA recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on 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 service dealer authorized by MAKITA when a problem exists.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact the MAKITA Warranty service
Department at 1-888-OPE-PART for the information.
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
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 right 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, WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A SERVICE
DEALER AUTHORIZED BY MAKITA. THE USE OF PARTS THAT ARE NOT EQUIVALENT 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 WARRANTY CLAIM.
If other than the parts authorized by MAKITA are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of components affecting
emission control, you should assure yourself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to the parts
authorized 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
emission-related part is found to be defective during the warranty period, you shall notify MAKITA Warranty service Department at
1-888-OPE-PART and you will be advised of the appropriate warranty service dealer or service providers where the warranty repair
can be performed.
