Problems That May Affect Emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine
inspected and repaired by your authorized Honda Power Equipment
dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after starting.
• Rough idle.
• Misfiring or backfiring under load.
• Afterburning (backfiring).
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

Replacement Parts

The emissions control systems on your new Honda engine were
designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA, California (models
certified for sale in California only), and Canadian emissions regulations.
We recommend the use of Honda Genuine parts whenever you have
maintenance done. These original design replacement parts are
manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be
confident of their performance. Honda cannot deny coverage under the
emission warranty solely for the use of non-Honda replacement parts or
service performed at a location other than an authorized Honda
dealership; you may use comparable EPA certified parts, and have service
performed at non-Honda locations. However, the use of replacement
parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the
effectiveness of your emissions control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that
the part will not adversely affect emissions performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part will
not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emissions regulations.

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 page 6.
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" (see page 14) for
additional information.
