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
spark-ignited small off-road 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 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
contact the Honda Office in your region:
Warranty Coverage:
Honda power equipment engines manufactured after January 1, 1995 and sold in the
State of California, U.S. EPA certified engines manufactured on or after September 1,
1996 and sold in all of the United States, and Canadian certified engines manufactured on
or after January 1, 2005 are covered by this warranty for a period of two years from the
date of delivery to the original retail purchaser. This warranty is transferable to each
subsequent purchaser for the duration of the warranty period.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for diagnosis, parts or labor. All defective
parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Honda. Warranted parts are
listed under Emission Control System Warranty Parts later on this page. 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 is also liable for damages to other engine components caused by a failure of any
warranted part during the warranty period.
Only Honda approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty
repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. The use of replacement parts
not equivalent to the original parts may impair the effectiveness of your engine emission
control system. If such a 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 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, at your
expense, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer who is authorized by Honda to sell and
service that Honda product during his 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 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, write or call the Honda Power
Equipment Customer Relations Department in your region.
