DISTRIBUTOR'S LIMITED WARRANTY

This warranty is limited to the following Honda Power Equipment products 
when distributed by American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Power Equipment 
Division, 4900 Marconi Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005. The following 
warranty applies to products purchased at retail or placed in rental service on 
or after January 1, 2009.

(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 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.

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. Warranty repairs and replacements will be 
made without charge for parts or labor. Anything replaced under warranty 
becomes the property of American 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 take the Honda Power Equipment product, accessory, replacement 
part, apparel, or the power equipment on which the accessory or replacement 
part is installed, and proof of purchase, at your expense, 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. If you are unable to obtain warranty service or are dissatisfied with the 
warranty service you receive, take the following steps: First, 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 American Honda Motor Co., Inc.  

Exclusions:

This warranty does not extend to parts affected or damaged by collision, 
normal wear, fuel contamination or deterioration, 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, or any causes other than defects in material or workmanship of the 
product. 

Any product that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a 
financial institution or insurer.

The auger and paddle assemblies of snowthrowers, tiller tines of roto-tillers, 
mower blades and mower deck housings, are specifically not warranted 
against impact damage, including but not limited to, abrasive damage.

Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of Implied 
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, 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.

ACCESSORIES, REPLACEMENT PARTS, AND 
APPAREL WARRANTY

This warranty is limited to Honda Power Equipment parts, accessories, and 
apparel when distributed by American Honda Motor Co., Inc., 4900 Marconi 
Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005-8847. 

To Qualify for This Warranty:

1. The accessories, replacement parts, or apparel must be purchased from 

American Honda, or a dealer, distributor, or distributor’s dealer authorized 
by American Honda to sell those products in the United States, Puerto 
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Parts and Accessories must be 
purchased 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 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 American 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.

Accessories and replacement parts installed by a dealer, distributor, or 
distributor’s dealer who is authorized by American Honda to sell them will be 
repaired or replaced under warranty without charge for parts or labor. If 
installed by anyone else, accessories and replacement parts will be repaired or 
replaced under warranty without charge for parts, but any labor charges will be 
the responsibility of the purchaser. Apparel will be repaired or replaced under 
warranty without any charge.

To Obtain Warranty Service: 

You must take the Honda Power Equipment accessory, replacement part, 
apparel, or the Honda Power Equipment on which the accessory or 
replacement part is installed, and proof of purchase, at your expense, to any 
Honda Power Equipment dealer, distributor, or distributor’s dealer in the United 
States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands who is authorized to sell that 
product, during the dealer's or distributor’s normal business hours. If you are 
unable to obtain warranty service or are dissatisfied with the warranty service 
you receive, take the following steps: First, contact the owner of the dealership 
or distributorship involved; normally this will resolve the problem. However, if 
you should require further assistance, write or call the Power Equipment 
Customer Relations Department of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Refer to 
adjacent column for contact information.

Exclusions: 

This warranty does not extend to accessories, parts, 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, 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
