FEATURES
Fuel-cut Solenoid
The engine is equipped with a fuel-cut solenoid that allows fuel to flow to
the carburetor main jet when the engine switch is in the ON or START
position and stops the flow of fuel to the main jet when the engine
switch is in the OFF position.
The engine must be connected to the battery to energize the fuel-cut
solenoid, allowing the engine to run. If the battery is disconnected, fuel
flow to the carburetor will stop.
Oil Pressure Switch (applicable types):
The engine is equipped with an oil pressure switch to prevent damage
from lack of lubrication or overheating.
If the oil pressure alarm lamp comes on, check the engine oil level and
add the correct engine oil if necessary (see page 7).
To restart the engine, turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Next,
start according to the starting procedure.
If the oil pressure alarm lamp continues to light even through the engine
oil level is correct, stop operating the engine and see an authorized
Honda servicing dealers.
BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations,
and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the engine to check its
condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the engine.
Failure to properly maintain this engine, or failing to correct
a problem before operation, could result in a significant
malfunction.
Some malfunctions can cause seriously injuries or death.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each
operation, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is level
and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
Check the General Condition of the Engine
1. Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline
leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler
and recoil starter.
3. Remove any objects or debris that may block the cooling air intake at
the recoil starter/fan cover. Running the engine with a blocked air
intake can cause engine damage.
4. Look for signs of damage.
5. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and
screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
1. Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or
reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
2. Check the engine oil level (see page 7). Running the engine with a
low oil level can cause engine damage.
3. Check the air filter element (see page 9). A dirty air filter element will
restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance.
Check the Equipment Powered by This Engine
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this
engine for any precautions and procedures that should be followed
before engine startup.
