Maintenance
As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for
completing all 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
that all scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Follow the
Maintenance Schedule
on
. Remember that this
schedule is based on the assumption that your Honda engine product
will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in dusty conditions, will require
more frequent service.
Air Index
(Models certified for sale in California)
An Air Index Information 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 to 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” on
for additional information.
