EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA,
Environment Canada, and State of California (models certified for sale in
California only) emission regulations. 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 Co., Inc. and Honda Canada
Inc. will be referred to as Honda.

CALIFORNIA EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Honda are pleased to explain the
exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control system warranty on
your 2021 and later Honda Power Equipment engine. In California, new
equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Honda must
warrant the emissions control system on your power equipment engine for the
periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to
the failure of the emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or
fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel
lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps
and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors, and other emission-related assemblies (see the adjacent column
for additional covered parts).
Where a warrantable condition exists, Honda will repair your power equipment
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power
equipment engine is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on
your Honda power equipment 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 servicing dealer as soon as the problem exists.
The warranty repairs shall 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.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

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 “California: Not for sale or use” or “California: Only for use
in Farming or Construction Equipment” decal.

All of the United States and Canada:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power
equipment engine sold in the United States and Canada is warranted for two
years from the date of delivery to the ultimate 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 emissions-related part on your Honda power equipment engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Honda. 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 shown in the table below. All emission related parts are under warranty
for the remainder of the warranty period. 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. Honda cannot deny coverage under
the emission warranty solely for use of non-Honda replacement parts or service
performed at a location other than an authorized Honda dealership; however,
use of a part that is not functionally identical to the original equipment part in
any respect that may in any way affect emissions (including durability) could
result in denial of coverage. If such a non-Honda 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 using the
information shown in the adjacent column.

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, or unapproved modifications.
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.
