MAINTENANCE
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 lawn tractor, 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 lawn tractor under unusual conditions, consult your
servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.
Remember that your servicing dealer knows your lawn tractor best and
is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine Honda
parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
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.
