Check The Engine; Check The Tiller - Honda FJ500 Owner's Manual

BEFORE OPERATION
Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the tiller is on a
level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.

Check the Engine

Check the oil level (see page 46).
Check the air filter (see page 50). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to
the carburetor, reducing engine and tiller performance.
Check the fuel level (see page 44). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

Check the Tiller

Check the transmission oil (see page 49).
Check that the all nuts, bolts, screws are tightened (see page 57,58).
