Exclusions:
This warranty does not extend to accessories, parts, or apparel
affected or damaged by 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 (models certified for sale in California only). 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.
