Follow the Maintenance Schedule on 

page 11

. Remember that this 

schedule is based on the assumption that your Honda engine product 

will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or 

high-temperature operation, or use in dusty conditions, will require 

more frequent service. 

Air Index

(Models certified for sale in California) 

An Air Index Information label is applied to engines certified to an 
emission  durability time period in accordance with the requirements of 
the California Air  Resources Board. 

The bar graph is intended to provide you, our customer, the ability to

compare the emissions performance of available engines. The lower

the Air Index, the less pollution.
The durability description is intended to provide you with information 

relating to the engine’s emission durability period. The descriptive 

term indicates the useful life period for the engine’s emission control 

system. See your 

EMISSION SYSTEM WARRANTY

 (

page 23

) for 

additional information.
