FEDERAL (USEPA) and/or CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA or EPA), the California Air Resources Board and MAKITA
are pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your 203* small off-road engine. In California and
the other 49 states, new small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the stringent anti-smog
standards. MAKITA must warrant the emissions control system on your small off-road engine for the period of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel
tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, vapor hoses, clamps, connectors, and other associated emission-
related components. "For engines less than or equal to 80 cc, only the fuel tank is subject to the evaporative emission
control warranty requirements of this section (California only)."
Where a warrantable condition exits, MAKITA will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your small off-road engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by MAKITA.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. MAKITA recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road en-
gine 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 small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that MAKITA may deny your warranty coverage
if your small off-road engine has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modificati-
ons.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a MAKITA distribution center or service center as
soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact the MAKITA Warranty Service
Department at -800-4-MAKITA (462-5482).
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
The warranty period begins on the date the small off-road engine is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed
into service. The warranty period is two years.
GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE:
MAKITA warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the small off-road engine is designed,
built and equipped so as to conform to all applicable regulations and free from defects in materials and workmanship
that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in the MAKITA
application for certification.
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:
() Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions
supplied is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty co-
verage, the part will be repaired or replaced by MAKITA according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired
or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied is warranted
for the warranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied
is warranted for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before
the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by MAKITA according to subsection (4) below.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the
first scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions herein must be performed at a warranty
station at no charge to the owner.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions herein, warranty services or repairs will be provided at all of our distribution centers
that are franchised to service the subject engines.
