 LIMITED WARRANTY

Honda Power Equipment

This warranty is limited to the following Honda Power Equipment products when distributed

by Honda Motor Co., Inc., Power Equipment Division.

(1) Private residential: Used in maintaining owner’s primary and/or secondary residence. Any 

other use, including but not limited to informal “for hire” use, is considered 
commercial/rental/institutional use.

To Qualify for This Warranty:

The product must be purchased in Australia from a dealer authorised by Honda to sell
those products. This warranty applies to first retail purchaser and each subsequent
owner during the applicable warranty time period, unless noted otherwise.

What Honda Will Repair or Replace Under Warranty:

Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any part that is proven to be defective in
material or workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty time period.
Warranty repairs and replacements will be made without charge for parts or labor.
Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of Honda Motor Company,
Inc. All parts replaced under warranty will be considered as part of the original product,
and any warranty on those parts will expire coincident with the original product
warranty.

To Obtain Warranty Service:

You must, at your expense, take the Honda Power Equipment product, and proof of 
purchase to any Honda Power Equipment dealer in Australia who is authorised to sell 
and/or service that product, during the dealer’s normal business hours. To locate a 
dealer near you, visit our web site at http://dl.hondampe.com.au and click on POWER 
EQUIPMENT.

If you are unable to obtain warranty service or are dissatisfied with the warranty service
you receive, contact the owner of the dealership involved; 
normally this will resolve the problem. However, if you should require further
assistance, write or call the Power Equipment Customer Relations Department of
Honda Motor Co., Inc. See 

“How to Contact Honda” on page 20

commercial loss, or any other incidental or consequential damage. Any implied
warranties are limited to the duration of this written limited warranty. Some states do
not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions
and limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Honda Parts, Accessories, and Apparel

What Honda Will Repair or Replace Under Warranty:

Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any Honda Power Equipment parts, 
accessories, replacement parts, or apparel that are proven to be defective in material or 
workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty time period. Anything 
replaced under warranty becomes the property of Honda Motor Company, Inc. The 
warranty on all parts, accessories, and apparel replaced under warranty will expire 
coincident with the original warranty on the replaced parts, accessories, or apparel.
Parts and accessories installed by a dealer who is authorised by Honda to sell them will 
be repaired or replaced under warranty without charge for parts or labor. If installed by 
anyone else, parts and accessories will be repaired or replaced under warranty without 
charge for parts, but any labor charges will be the responsibility of the purchaser. 

To Obtain Warranty Service:

You must, at your expense, take the Honda Power Equipment product, and proof of 
purchase to any Honda Power Equipment dealer in Australia who is authorised to sell 
and/or service that product, during the dealer’s normal business hours. To locate a 
dealer near you, visit our web site at http://dl.hondampe.com.au and click on POWER 
EQUIPMENT.

Exclusions:

This warranty does not extend to parts, accessories, or apparel affected or damaged by 
collision, normal wear, use in an application for which the product was not designed or 
any other misuse, neglect, incorporation or use of unsuitable attachments or parts, 
unauthorised alteration, improper installation, or any causes other than defects in 
material or workmanship of the product. Installing parts and accessories on non-Honda 
products or engines voids this warranty.

Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of Implied 
Warranties:

Honda disclaims any responsibility for loss of time or use of the product, or the power 
equipment on which the product is installed, transportation, commercial loss, or any 
other incidental or consequential damage. Any implied warranties are limited to the 
duration of this written warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an 
implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.
