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

To Qualify for This Warranty:

The product must be purchased in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin 
Islands from American Honda or a dealer authorized by American Honda to sell those 
products. This warranty applies to the first retail purchaser and each subsequent owner 
during the applicable warranty time period, unless noted otherwise.

What American Honda Will Repair or Replace Under Warranty:

American 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.

Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of American Honda Motor Co., 
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.

replacement part, apparel, or the power equipment on which the accessory or 
replacement part is installed, and proof of purchase to any Honda Power Equipment 
dealer in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands who is authorized 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 PowerEquipment.Honda.com and click on Find a

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 Dept. of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. See “How to

Warranties:

American Honda disclaims any responsibility for loss of time or use of the product, 
transportation, 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, therefore 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.

for installation on original Honda equipment or engines to be eligible for warranty 
coverage. Installing parts and accessories on non-Honda products or engines voids 
this warranty.

2. You must be the first retail purchaser. This warranty is not transferable to subsequent 

owners.

What American Honda Will Repair or Replace Under Warranty: 

American Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any Honda Power Equipment parts,

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 authorized by American Honda to sell 
them will be repaired or replaced under warranty without charge for parts or labor. If

To Obtain Warranty Service: 

You must, at your expense, take the Honda Power Equipment part, accessory, apparel or 
the Honda Power Equipment on which the part or accessory is installed, and proof of 
purchase to any Honda Power Equipment dealer in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the 
U.S. Virgin Islands who is authorized to sell that product, during the dealer's normal 
business hours. To locate a dealer near you, visit our web site at 
PowerEquipment.Honda.com and click on Find a Dealer. 
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

.

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, 
unauthorized 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: 

American 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, therefore 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.
