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 MAK-
ITA 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 cov-
erage 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 responsibili-
ties, you should contact the MAKITA Warranty service Department at 1-
800-4-MAKITA 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 war-
ranty 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
WACKER. THE USE OF PARTS THAT ARE NOT EQUIVALENT IN PER-
FORMANCE 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 manufac-
turer to be equivalent to the parts authorized by MAKITA in their perfor-
mance 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 1-800-4-MAKITA and you
will be advised of the appropriate warranty service dealer or service pro-
viders where the warranty repair can be performed.
