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 that 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 write or call the Honda office in your 
region.
Warranty Coverage:
Honda power equipment engines manufactured after January 1, 
1995, and sold in the State of California, and 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 on page 21. 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 warranty 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 Power Equipment 
Customer Relations Department of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. 
Refer to page 18 for contact information.
Exclusions:
Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or 
workmanship are not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not 
extend to emission control systems or parts which are affected or 
damaged by owner abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, misuse, 
misfueling, improper storage, accident and/or collision, the 
incorporation of, or any use of, any add-on or modified parts, 
unsuitable attachments, or the unauthorized alteration of any part.
This warranty does not cover replacement of expendable 
maintenance items made in connection with required maintenance 
services after the item's first scheduled replacement as listed in the 
maintenance section of the product owner's manual, such as: spark 
plugs and filters.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of 
Implied Warranties: 
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. disclaim any 
responsibility for incidental or consequential damages such as loss of 
time or the use of the power equipment, or any commercial loss due 
to the failure of the equipment; and any implied warranties are limited 
to the duration of this written warranty. This warranty is applicable only 
where the California, U.S. EPA, or Environment Canada Emission 
Control System Warranty regulation is in effect.
