TECHNICAL INFORMATION
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 servicing 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, 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.
Follow the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on page 31.
Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your
power equipment engine will be used for its designed purpose.
Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in dusty
conditions, will require more frequent service.
