HONDA
EMiSSiON CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and
State of California emission regulations (models certified for sale in California only). American Hon-
da 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 spark-ignited small off-road
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. Specific Honda products that do not meet the California emissions
regulations can be identified by a "Not for sale in California" decal.
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 (see next page for additional covered parts).
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 Honda may deny you war-
ranty 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 emission related warranty repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your
emission warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact the Honda office in your region:

Honda power equipment engines sold in the United States and Canada are covered by this war-
ranty for a period of two years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser or the length
of the Honda Distributor's Limited Warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty is transferable to

Honda without charge for diagnosis, parts, or labor. All defective parts replaced under this warranty
become the property of Honda. A list of warranted parts is on the reverse side of this warranty
statement. 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 will also replace other engine components damaged by a failure of any warranted part dur-
ing the warranty period.
