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 2014* small off-road engine/equipment.
In California and the other 49 states, new small off-road engines/equipments 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 en-
gine/equipment for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance
of your small off-road engine/equipment.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel
tanks, fuel lines, fuel caps, valves, canisters, lters, 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 exists, MAKITA will repair your small off-road engine/equipment at no cost to you in-
cluding 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/
equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by MAKITA.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• As the small off-road engine/equipment 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 engine/equipment 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/equipment owner, you should however be aware that MAKITA may deny your warranty
coverage if your small off-road engine/equipment has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or
unapproved modications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine/equipment 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 1-800-4-MAKITA (462-5482).

The warranty period begins on the date the small off-road engine/equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or
rst 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/equipment
is designed, built and equipped so as to conform to all applicable regulations and free from defects in materials and

in the MAKITA application for certication.

(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions

verage, the part will be repaired or replaced by MAKITA according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired
