The Importance Of Maintenance; Condition - Honda HRT216SDA Harmony II Owner's Manual

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a
problem before operation, can cause a
malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance
recommendations and schedules in this owner's
manual.
To help you properly care for your mower, 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 mower 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.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any engine repair
establishment or individual, using parts that are "certified" to
EPA standards.
