each subsequent owner during the applicable warranty time period.

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.

installed, together with proof of original retail purchase date, at your expense, to a Honda

dealers and distributors are listed in the yellow pages of the telephone directory under
gasoline engines, lawn & garden equipment & supplies, etc.
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
distributor involved. Normally this should resolve the problem. However, if you are
dissatisfied with the decision made by the dealership's management, contact the Honda
Regional Engine Distributor for your area. You can find their name, address, and phone
number using the dealer/distributor locator on our website at (www.honda-engines.com)
or by calling 1-800-426-7701. If you are still dissatisfied after speaking with the Regional
Engine Distributor, you may contact the Honda Power Equipment Customer Relations
Department of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Refer to page 13 for contact information.

ATTACHMENTS OR PARTS, THE UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATION OF ANY PART OR
ANY CAUSES OTHER THAN DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE
ENGINE. USE OF THE HONDA GENERAL PURPOSE ENGINE FOR RACING OR
COMPETITION WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of Implied
Warranties:
AMERICAN HONDA DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF TIME OR USE
OF THE ENGINE, OR THE EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE ENGINE IS INSTALLED,
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.

vary from state to state.
