repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not apply if
equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the
warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the pressure washer or engine has been removed or the equipment has been altered or
modified. During the warranty period, the Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to be
defective under normal use and service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:
•Normal Wear:Outdoor Power Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This warranty also does not
cover normal maintenance such as air filters, adjustments, fuel system cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, lime, dirt, and so forth).
•Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation or
alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in our judgment,
to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as air filters, adjustments, fuel system
cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, lime, dirt, and so forth).
•Other Exclusions:This warranty excludes the engine. For engine warranty questions, call American Honda Motor Company at 1-800-426-7701 or visit
www.honda-engines.com for a dealer locator.
This warranty excludes wear items such as quick couplers, seals, o-rings, pumps that have been run without water supplied or damage or
malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts,
such as guns, hoses, nozzle extensions (wands), and nozzles, are excluded from the product warranty. This warranty excludes used, reconditioned,
and demonstration equipment and failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control.
