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

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 spark-ignited small
off-road 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.

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. 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 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.
