HONDA HR215SXA - Manual (Page 49)

Air Index
An Air Index Information hang tag/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 the engine's emission
durability period. The descriptive term indicates the useful life period for the
engine's emission control system. See your Emission Control System
Warranty for additional information.
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your new Honda engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations.
We recommend the use genuine Honda parts whenever you have
maintenance done. These original design replacement parts are
manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be
confident of their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of
the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emission
control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the
part will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufacturer or
rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure
of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 48. Remember that this schedule
is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its designed
purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in
unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
