TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION

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 80. 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 74 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.
