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 37.
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.
