To carry out this series of checks,
place the motor hoe on stable,
level ground with the engine
switched off and the cap
removed from the spark plug [7].
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION :
• Make sure you check the oil level with the motor hoe placed on a
horizontal surface and with the engine switched off.
Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs
of oil or fuel leaks.
1. Remove the dipstick / oil filler
cap [8] and wipe it.
2. Insert the dipstick into the filler
neck [9] without screwing it, and
then remove it.
3. Check the oil level visible on the
dipstick [10].
4. If the level is low, top up with
recommended oil until reaching
the upper limit [11] on the dipstick.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap / dipstick.
CAUTION :
• The engine may be seriously
damaged if it is run when the oil
level is too low. It is recommended
that Honda 4-stroke oil or a highly
detergent engine oil of equivalent
quality should be used. The
viscosity chosen should be suitable
for the average temperature in the
area where the motor hoe is used.
Lubrication oil specifications necessary to maintain the
performance of the emissions control system: Honda genuine oil.
Choose a suitable oil
viscosity for the average
temperature in the region
where the motor hoe is used.
[12] Multigrade
CAUTION :
• The engine will be seriously damaged if non-detergent or 2-stroke
engine oil is used.
Do not use a rotating implement with a diameter of more than
230 mm or that is more than 322 mm wide.
Petrol is extremely flammable and, in some circumstances, it is
explosive. Do not smoke and avoid any flames or sparks in the
area where filling is performed and where the fuel is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. (The fuel level must be below the
filter neck). After filling the tank, make sure the fuel tank cap is
screwed correctly and fully in place.
If fuel is spilled, make sure it has dried before starting the
engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact of petrol with the skin and
do not breathe petrol vapours.
KEEP FUEL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
