TECHNICAL 8 CONSUMER 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.
+ Hough idle.
* Misfiring or backfiring under load.
= After burning (backfiring).
* Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your new Honda engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations
(Models certified for sale in California). 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 25.|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 unusu-
ally wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
