Follow the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
on page . 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 moref requentservice.
The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with applicable emission regulations.
We recommend the use of Honda Genuine 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.
