Air Index; Specifications - Honda HRC216HXA Owner's Manual

Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine
inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after starting
• Rough idle
• Misfiring, backfiring under load, or afterburning
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption
Replacement Parts
The emissions control systems on your new Honda engine were
designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA, California, and
Canadian emissions regulations. We recommend the use of Honda
Genuine parts whenever you have maintenance done. These
original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same
standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their
performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original
design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emissions
control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that
the part will not adversely affect emissions performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part
will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emissions
regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on
schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used
for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require
more frequent service.

Air Index

An Air Index Information hang tag/label is applied to engines certified
to an emission durability time period in accordance with the
requirements of the California Air Resources Board.
The bar graph is intended to provide you, our customer, the ability to
compare the emissions performance of available engines. The lower
the Air Index, the less pollution.
The durability description is intended to provide you with information
relating the engine's emission durability period. The descriptive term
indicates the useful life period for the engine's emission control
system. See your EMISSION SYSTEM WARRANTY
additional information.
Descriptive Term
Moderate 50 hours (0 ~ 80 cc)
125 hours (greater than 80 cc)
Intermediate 125 hours (0 ~ 80 cc)
250 hours (greater than 80 cc)
Extended 300 hours (0 ~ 80 cc)
500 hours (greater than 80 cc)
