PROPER MAINTENANCE IS THE OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with California emissions regulations.
Honda recommends only the use of new, genuine Honda parts or
their equivalent.
The use of other replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality
may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 36. Remember that this
schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used
for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require
more frequent service.
