Air Index
An Air Index Information hang tag/label is applied to engines certified
to an emission durability time period in accordance with the
requirements of the California Air Resources Board.
The bar graph is intended to provide you, our customer, the ability to
compare the emissions performance of available engines. The lower
the Air Index, the less pollution.
The durability description is intended to provide you with information
relating the engine’s emission durability period. The descriptive term
indicates the useful life period for the engine’s emission control
system. See your Emission Control System Warranty (page 12) for
additional information.
The Air Index Information hang tag/label must remain on the engine
until it is sold. Remove the hang tag before operating the engine.

U.S.A. Distributor’s Limited Warranty
(1) Honda GS and GSV general purpose engines are not covered by
this warranty when installed on concession type vehicles.
To Qualify for this Warranty:
The Honda general purpose engine must be purchased from a Honda general purpose
engine dealer or distributor authorized to sell that product in the United States, Puerto Rico,
or the U.S. Virgin Islands. This limited warranty applies to first retail purchaser and each
subsequent owner during the applicable warranty time period.
What American Honda Will Repair or Replace Under Warranty:
American Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any part that is proven to be defective
in material or workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty time period.
Warranty repairs and replacements will be made without charge for parts or labor. 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.
To Obtain Warranty Service:
You must take your Honda general purpose engine, or the equipment in which it is
installed, together with proof of original retail purchase date, at your expense, to a Honda
engine dealer or distributor authorized to sell that product in the United States, Puerto Rico,
or the U.S. Virgin Islands, during their normal business hours. Many Honda engine dealers
and distributors are listed in the yellow pages of the telephone directory under gasoline
engines, lawn & garden equipment & supplies, etc.
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 or distributor
involved. Normally this should resolve the problem. However, if you are dissatisfied with
the decision made by the dealership's management, contact the Honda Regional Engine
Distributor for your area. You can find their name, address, and phone number using the
dealer/distributor locator on our website at (www.honda-engines.com) or by calling 1-800-
426-7701. If you are still dissatisfied after speaking with the Regional Engine Distributor,
you may contact the Honda Power Equipment Customer Relations Department of
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Refer to page 13 for contact information.
Exclusions:
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO PARTS AFFECTED OR DAMAGED BY THE
PRODUCT IN WHICH THE ENGINE IS INSTALLED, OR BY ACCIDENT AND/OR
COLLISION, MISUSE, NEGLECT, PARTS WORN BEYOND SERVICE LIMITS DUE TO
NORMAL WEAR/NORMAL SERVICE LIFE, PARTS AFFECTED OR DAMAGED BY THE
CONVERSION TO OR USE OF FUEL OTHER THAN THE FUEL(S) WHICH THE
ENGINE IS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED TO USE, POOR OPERATION RELATED TO
FUEL CONTAMINATION OR FUEL QUALITY, PARTS DAMAGED BY FUEL
CONTAMINATION, THE INCORPORATION OF, OR USE OF, UNSUITABLE
ATTACHMENTS OR PARTS, THE UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATION OF ANY PART OR
ANY CAUSES OTHER THAN DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE
ENGINE. USE OF THE HONDA GENERAL PURPOSE ENGINE FOR RACING OR
COMPETITION WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of Implied Warranties:
AMERICAN HONDA DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF TIME OR USE
OF THE ENGINE, OR THE EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE ENGINE IS INSTALLED,
TRANSPORTATION, COMMERCIAL LOSS, OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN LIMITED 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.
