dealer.

Replacement
Parts
The emission
control
systems on your Honda engine were designed,
built,
and certified
to conform
with
EPA and California
emission
regulations.
We
recommend
the
use
of genuine
Honda
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 emission
control system.
A manufacturer
of an aftermarket
part assumes the responsibility
that
the
part
will
not
adversely
affect
emission
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
emission
regulations.
Maintenance
Follow
the maintenance
schedule
on page 21. Remember
that this
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.
