DISTRIBUTOR’S LIMITED WARRANTY
The applicable warranty is the warranty policy in effect in the country 
where the warranty service is provided.
Distributor’s Limited Warranty
United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands
* Honda GCV general purpose engines are not covered by this warranty when installed on 
concession type vehicles.
To Qualify for this Warranty:
The Honda general purpose engine must be purchased from a Honda general purpose 
engine dealer or distributor authorized to sell that product in the United States, Puerto 
Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. This limited warranty applies to first retail purchaser and 
each subsequent owner during the applicable warranty time period.
What American Honda Will Repair or Replace Under Warranty:
American Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any part that is proven to be defective 
in material or workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty time period. 
Warranty repairs and replacements will be made without charge for parts or labor. 
Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of American Honda Motor 
Company, Inc. All parts replaced under warranty will be considered as part of the original 
product and any warranty on those parts will expire coincident with the original product 
warranty.
To Obtain Warranty Service:
You must take your Honda general purpose engine, or the equipment in which it is 
installed, together with proof of original retail purchase date, at your expense, to a Honda 
engine dealer or distributor authorized to sell that product in the United States, Puerto 
Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, during their normal business hours. Many Honda engine 
dealers and distributors are listed in the yellow pages of the telephone directory under 
gasoline engines, lawn & garden equipment & supplies, etc.
If you are unable to obtain warranty service, or are dissatisfied with the warranty service 
you receive, take the following steps: First contact the owner of the dealership or 
distributor involved. Normally this should resolve the problem. However, if you are 
dissatisfied with the decision made by the dealership's management, contact the Honda 
Regional Engine Distributor for your area. You can find their name, address, and phone 
number using the dealer/distributor locator on our website at (www.honda-engines.com) 
or by calling 1-800-426-7701. If you are still dissatisfied after speaking with the Regional 
Engine Distributor, you may contact the Honda Power Equipment Customer Relations 
Department of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Refer to page 13 for contact information.
Exclusions:
This warranty does not extend to parts affected or damaged by the product in which the 
engine is installed, or by accident and/or collision, misuse, neglect, parts worn beyond 
service limits due to normal wear/normal service life, parts affected or damaged by the 
conversion to or use of fuel other than the fuel(s) which the engine is originally 
manufactured to use, poor operation related to fuel contamination or fuel quality, parts 
damaged by fuel contamination, the incorporation of, or use of, unsuitable attachments or 
parts, the unauthorized alteration of any part or any causes other than defects in material 
or workmanship of the engine. Use of the Honda general purpose engine for racing or 
competition will void this warranty.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of Implied 
Warranties:
American Honda disclaims any responsibility for loss of time or use of the engine, or the 
equipment in which the engine is installed, transportation, commercial loss, or any other 
incidental or consequential damage. Any implied warranties are limited to the duration of 
this written limited warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied 
warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential 
damages, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which 
vary from state to state.
