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.
• Engine speed instability.
• 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 originaldesign 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 52.
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.
