Servicing Your Pump; The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda WH20 Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR PUMP

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation.
It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your pump, the following pages include a
maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance
procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are more difficult, or
require special tools, are best handled by professionals and are normally
performed by a Honda technician or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you
operate your pump under severe conditions, such as sustained high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions,
consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your
individual needs and use.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your pump best
and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Honda Genuine parts or
their equivalents for repair and replacement.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are ''certified'' to U.S. EPA standards.
Failure to properly maintain this pump,
or failing to correct a problem before
operation, could result in a significant
malfunction.
Some malfunctions can cause serious
injuries or death.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual.
