2. Tire wear is normal and to be expected. Running the machine on
excessively hard or abrasive surfaces can increase wear.

or wrapped around the transmission output shaft.

The transmission (540003105) contains a centrifugal clutch and may
creep if left in gear. Some creeping is normal because of the lubricant
resistance between the clutch plates. Also, too heavy a lubricant in
Gear Reducer can cause creeping.

RPM's. a high idle RPM may cause creeping.
3. If unit continues to creep, contact your local Honda dealer (Yellow
Pages) or servicing dealer.
