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
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. 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.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The 1995 and later power equipment engines are warranted for two
years or the length of the Honda Distributor's Limited Warranty,
whichever is longer. 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.
