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.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA, 
Environment Canada, and State of California emission regulations. American 
Honda Motor Co., Inc. provides the emission warranty coverage for engines in 
the United States and its territories. Honda Canada Inc. provides the emission 
warranty for engines in the 13 provinces and territories of Canada. In the 
remainder of this Emission Control System Warranty, American Honda Motor 
Company, Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. will be referred to as Honda.
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations:
California 
The California Air Resources Board and Honda are pleased to explain the 
emission control system warranty on your Honda Power Equipment engine. In 
California, new utility and lawn and garden equipment engines must be 
designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog 
standards.
Other States, U.S. Territories and Canada
In other areas of the United States and in Canada, your engine must be 
designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and Environment Canada 
emission standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
All of the United States and Canada
Honda must warrant the emission control system on your power equipment 
engine for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, 
neglect, or improper maintenance of your power equipment engine. Where a 
warrantable condition exists, Honda will repair your power equipment engine at 
no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Your emission control system may include such parts as the carburetor or fuel 
injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included 
may be hoses, connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage: 
The 1995 and later power equipment engines are warranted for two years. If 
any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired 
or replaced by Honda.
Owner's Warranty Responsibility: 
As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the 
performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. 
Honda recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your 
power equipment engine, but Honda cannot deny warranty coverage solely for 
the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all 
scheduled maintenance.
As the power equipment engine owner, you should, however, be aware that 
Honda may deny you warranty coverage if your power equipment engine or a 
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved 
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your power equipment engine to a Honda 
Power Equipment dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs 
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, 
you should write or call the Honda office in your region.
Warranty Coverage: 
Honda power equipment engines manufactured after January 1, 1995, and 
sold in the State of California, and U.S. EPA certified engines manufactured on 
or after September 1, 1996, and sold in all of the United States, and Canadian 
certified engines manufactured on or after January 1, 2005, are covered by 
this warranty for a period of two years from the date of delivery to the original 
retail purchaser. This warranty is transferable to each subsequent purchaser 
for the duration of the warranty period.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for diagnosis, parts, or labor. All 
defective parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Honda. 
Warranted parts are listed under Emission Control System Warranty Parts on 
page 22. Normal maintenance items, such as spark plugs and filters, that are 
on the warranted parts list are warranted up to their required replacement 
interval only.
Honda is also liable for damages to other engine components caused by a 
failure of any warranted part during the warranty period. 
Only Honda approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of 
any warranty repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. The 
use of replacement parts not equivalent to the original parts may impair the 
effectiveness of your engine emission control system. If such a replacement 
part is used in the repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized 
Honda dealer determines it is defective or causes a failure of a warranted part, 
your claim for repair of your engine may be denied. If the part in question is not 
related to the reason your engine requires repair, your claim will not be denied.
To Obtain Warranty Service: 
You must take your Honda Power Equipment engine or the product on which it 
is installed, along with your warranty registration card or other proof of original 
purchase date, at your expense, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer who is 
authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product during his normal 
business hours. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by 
defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine was 
not properly maintained and used.
If you are unable to obtain warranty service or are dissatisfied with the 
warranty service you received, contact the owner of the dealership involved. 
Normally this should resolve your problem. However, if you require further 
assistance, write or call the Power Equipment Customer Relations Department 
of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Refer to page 19 for contact information.
Exclusions: 
Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or workmanship are 
not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not extend to emission 
control systems or parts which are affected or damaged by owner abuse, 
neglect, improper maintenance, misuse, misfueling, improper storage, 
accident and/or collision, the incorporation of, or any use of, any add-on or 
modified parts, unsuitable attachments, or the unauthorized alteration of any 
part.
This warranty does not cover replacement of expendable maintenance items 
made in connection with required maintenance services after the item's first 
scheduled replacement as listed in the maintenance section of the product 
owner's manual, such as: spark plugs and filters.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of 
Implied Warranties: 
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. disclaim any 
responsibility for incidental or consequential damages such as loss of time or 
the use of the power equipment, or any commercial loss due to the failure of 
the equipment; and any implied warranties are limited to the duration of this 
written warranty. This warranty is applicable only where the California, U.S. 
EPA, or Environment Canada Emission Control System Warranty regulation is 
in effect.
