EMISSION 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 2015 and later 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. Specific
Honda products that do not meet the California emissions regulations can be
identified by a “Not for sale in California” decal.

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 (see page
2 for additional covered parts).

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY:

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.
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 emission related
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to
exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your emission warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact the Honda office in your region.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Honda power equipment engines sold in the United States and Canada are
covered by this warranty for a period of two years from the date of delivery to
the original retail purchaser or the length of the Honda Distributor’s Limited
Warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty is transferable to each subsequent
purchaser for the duration of the warranty period.
If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired
or replaced by Honda without charge for diagnosis, parts, or labor. All defective
parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Honda. Only Honda
approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty
repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. A list of warranted
parts is on the reverse side of this warranty statement. 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 will also replace other engine components damaged by a failure of any

warranted part during the warranty period.
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, at your own expense, take your Honda Power Equipment engine or
the product on which it is installed, along with your sales registration card or
other proof of original purchase date, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer
who is authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product during their
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 emission 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, contact the Honda office in your region. Refer to adjacent
column 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 that are affected or damaged by owner abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, misuse, misfueling, improper storage, collision, the
incorporation of, or use of, 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 service 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.
