EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and 
State of California emission regulations (models certifi ed for sale in California only). American Hon-
da 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 Canada Inc. will be referred to as 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 1

9

 kilowatts. Specifi c Honda products that do not meet the California emissions 

regulations can be identifi ed 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 (see next page for additional covered parts).

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 war-
ranty coverage if your power equipment engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper 
maintenance, or unapproved modifi cations.
You are responsible for presenting your power equipment engine to a Honda Power Equipment 
dealer as soon as a problem exists. The emission related warranty repairs should be completed 
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 3

0

 days.  If you have any questions regarding your 

emission warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact the Honda offi ce in your region:

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Honda power equipment engines sold in the United States and Canada are covered by this war-
ranty for a period of two years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser or the length 
of the Honda Distributor’s Limited Warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty is transferable to 
each subsequent purchaser for the duration of the warranty period.
If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by 
Honda 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 on the reverse side of this warranty 
statement.  Normal maintenance items, such as spark plugs and fi lters, 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 dur-
ing the warranty period.
