TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected
and repaired by your authorized Honda servicing dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after starting.
• Rough idle.
• Misfiring or backfiring under load.
• Afterburning (backfiring).
• 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. Honda cannot deny coverage under the
emission warranty solely for the use of non-Honda replacement parts or service
performed at a location other than an authorized Honda dealership; you may
use comparable EPA certified parts, and have service performed at non-Honda
locations. However, 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
As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for completing all
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 that all scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Follow the "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE" on page 58.
Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your generator
will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
