Emission Control System Warranty
Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA, Environment Canada and State of California
emission regulations. 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 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 utility and lawn and garden 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.
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. 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 that 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 write or call the Honda office
in your region.
