EMISSION SYSTEM WARRANTY

Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA and
State of California (models certified for sale in California only) emission
regulations. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. provides the emission warranty
coverage for engines in the United States and its territories. In the remainder of
this Emission Control System Warranty, American Honda Motor Co., 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 2019 and later 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. Specific Honda products that do not meet the California
emissions regulations can be identified by a “Not for sale in California” decal.

OTHER STATES AND U.S. TERRITORIES

In other areas of the United States, your engine must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet the U.S. EPA emission standards for spark-ignited engines
at or below 19 kilowatts.

ALL OF THE UNITED STATES

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 the
adjacent column for additional covered parts).

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY:

As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for completing all 
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 that all scheduled maintenance has been completed.
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 emission related 
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to 
exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your emission warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact the Honda office in your region

:

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Honda power equipment engines sold in the United States 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 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. Only Honda 
approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty 
repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. A list of warranted 
parts is on the adjacent column of this warranty statement. 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. 

Honda cannot deny coverage under the emission warranty solely for use of
non-Honda replacement parts or service performed at a location other than an
authorized Honda dealership; however, use of a part that is not functionally
identical to the original equipment part in any respect that may in any way
affect emissions (including durability) could result in denial of coverage. If such
a non-Honda 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, at your own expense, 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, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer 
who is authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product during their 
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 emission 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, contact the Honda office in your region. Refer to adjacent
column for contact information.

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 that are affected or damaged by owner abuse, neglect, 
improper maintenance, misuse, misfueling, improper storage, collision, the 
incorporation of, or use of, 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 service 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. disclaims 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 the equipment; and any implied 
warranties are limited to the duration of this written warranty. This warranty is 
applicable only where the California and U.S. EPA emission control system 
warranty regulation is in effect.
