Emission Control System Warranty - Honda HARMONY FG100 Owner's Manual

TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION

Emission Control System Warranty

Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and State of California emission regulations.
American Honda provides the same emission warranty coverage for engines sold in all 50 states.
Your Warranty Rights And Obligations:
California
The California Air Resources Board and American Honda Motor Co., Inc. are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your Honda Power Equipment engine. In California, new utility and lawn and garden equipment engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards.
Other States
In other areas of the United States your engine must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA Phase I Emission
standard for spark ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
All States
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. must warrant the emission control system on your power equipment engine for the period of time
listed on the following page provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your power equipment
engine. Where a warrantable condition exists, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. will repair your power equipment engine at no cost
to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Your emission control system may include such parts as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic
converter. Also included may be hoses, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
The 1995 and later power equipment engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Owner's Warranty Responsibility:
As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner's manual. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your power
equipment engine, but American Honda Motor Co., Inc. cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the power equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that American Honda Motor Co., Inc. may deny you
warranty coverage if your power equipment engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or
unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your power equipment engine to a Honda Power Equipment dealer as soon as a problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should write or call the Honda Power
Equipment Customer Relations Department. Refer to page 44 for contact information.
Warranty Coverage:
Honda Power Equipment engines manufactured after January 1, 1995 and sold in the State of California, and U.S. EPA certified
engines manufactured on or after September 1, 1996 and sold in all of the United States, are covered by this warranty for a
period of two years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser. This warranty is transferable to each subsequent
purchaser for the duration of the warranty period.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for diagnosis, parts or labor. All defective parts replaced under this warranty
become the property of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. A list of warranted parts is on the reverse side of this warranty
statement. Normal maintenance items, such as spark plugs and filters, that are on the warranted parts list are warranted up to
their required replacement interval only.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is also liable for damages to other engine components caused by a failure of any warranted part
during the warranty period.
Only Honda approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty repairs and must be provided without
charge to the owner. The use of replacement parts not equivalent to the original parts may impair the effectiveness of your engine
emission control system. If such a replacement part is used in the repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized Honda
dealer determines it is defective or causes a failure of a warranted part, your claim for repair of your engine may be denied. If the
part in question is not related to the reason your engine requires repair, your claim will not be denied.
