Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA,
Environment Canada, and State of California emission regulations (models
certified for sale in California only). American Honda Motor Co., Inc. provides
the emission warranty coverage for engines in the United States, and its
territories. Honda Canada Inc. provides the emission warranty for engines in
the 13 provinces and territories of Canada. In the remainder of this Emission
Control System Warranty, American Honda Motor Company Inc. and Honda

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
CALIFORNIA
The California Air Resources Board and Honda are pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your Honda Power Equipment engine. In
California, new spark-ignited small off-road equipment engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog
standards.
OTHER STATES, U.S. TERRITORIES, AND CANADA
In other areas of the United States and in Canada, your engine must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and Environment Canada
emission standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts. Specific
Honda products that do not meet the California emissions regulations can be
identified by a "Not for sale in California" decal.
ALL OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
Honda must warrant the emission control system on your power equipment
engine for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse,
neglect, or improper maintenance of your power equipment engine. Where a
warrantable condition exists, Honda 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 or
the length of the Honda Distributor's Warranty, whichever is longer. If any
emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or
replaced by Honda.
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.
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 the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
As the power equipment engine owner, you should however be aware Honda
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 contact the Honda Office in your region:

WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Honda power equipment engines manufactured after January 1, 1995 and sold
in the State of California, U.S. EPA certified engines manufactured on or after
September 1, 1996 and sold in all of the United States, and Canadian certified
engines manufactured on or after January 1, 2005 are covered by this
warranty for a period of two years from the date of delivery to the original retail
purchaser or the length of the Honda Distributor's Warranty, whichever is
longer. 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 Honda.

A list of warranted parts is in the table below. 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.
Honda will also replace other engine components damaged 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.
TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
You must take your Honda Power Equipment engine or the product on which it
is installed, along with your sales registration card or other proof of original
purchase date, at your expense, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer who is
authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product during his normal
business hours. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by
defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine was
not properly maintained and used.
If you are unable to obtain warranty service, or are dissatisfied with the
warranty service you received, contact the owner of the dealership involved.
Normally this should resolve your problem. However, if you require further
assistance, write or call the Honda Power Equipment Customer Relations
Department in your region.
EXCLUSIONS:
Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or workmanship are
not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not extend to emission
control systems or parts which are affected or damaged by owner abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, misuse, misfueling, improper storage,
collision, the incorporation of, or any use of, any add-on or modified parts,
unsuitable attachments, or the unauthorized alteration of any part.
This warranty does not cover replacement of expendable maintenance items
made in connection with required maintenance services after the item's first
scheduled replacement as listed in the maintenance section of the product
owner's manual, such as: spark plugs and filters.
DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE AND LIMITATION
OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. disclaim any
responsibility for incidental or consequential damages such as loss of time or
the use of the power equipment, or any commercial loss due to the failure of
