ACCESSORIES, REPLACEMENT PARTS, AND
APPAREL WARRANTY

This warranty is limited to Honda Power Equipment parts, accessories and
apparel when distributed by American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,
4900 Marconi Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005-8847.

To Qualify for this Warranty:

1. The accessories, replacement parts, or apparel must be purchased from

American Honda, or a dealer, distributor or distributor’s dealer authorized
by American Honda to sell those products in the United States, Puerto
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Parts and Accessories must be
purchased for installation on original Honda equipment or engines to be
eligible for warranty coverage. Installing Parts and Accessories on
non-Honda products or engines voids this warranty.

2. You must be the first retail purchaser. This warranty is not transferable to

subsequent owners.

What American Honda will Repair or Replace Under
Warranty:

American Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any power equipment
accessories, replacement parts, or apparel that are proven to be defective 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.

Accessories and replacement parts, installed by a dealer who is authorized by
American Honda to sell them, will be repaired or replaced under warranty
without charge for parts or labor. If installed by anyone else, accessories and
replacement parts will be repaired or replaced under warranty without charge
for parts, but any labor charges will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Apparel will be repaired or replaced under warranty without any charge.

To Obtain Warranty Service:

You must take the Honda Power Equipment accessory, replacement part,
apparel or the power equipment on which the accessory or replacement part is
installed, and proof of purchase, at your expense, to any Honda Power
Equipment dealer in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands
who is authorized to service that product, during the dealer's normal business
hours. 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 involved; normally this will resolve the problem. However, if
you should require further assistance, write or call the Power Equipment
Customer Relations Department of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Refer to
page 17 for contact information.

Exclusions:

This warranty does not extend to accessories, parts, or apparel affected or
damaged by accident and/or collision, normal wear, use in an application for
which the product was not designed, or any other misuse, neglect,
incorporation or use of unsuitable attachments or parts, unauthorized
alteration, improper installation, or any causes other than defects in material or
workmanship of the product. Installing Parts and Accessories on non-Honda
products or engines voids this warranty.

Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of
Implied Warranties:

American Honda disclaims any responsibility for loss of time or use of the
product, or the power equipment on which the product is installed,
transportation, commercial loss, or any other incidental or consequential
damage. Any implied warranties are limited to the duration of this written
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. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.

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 utility and lawn and garden 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. Specific
Honda products that do not meet the California emissions regulations can be
identified by a “Not for sale in California” decal.

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 or
the length of the Honda Distributor’s Limited Warranty, whichever is longer. 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 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.
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.
