Servicing Your Pump; The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda WX15 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 your 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 EPA standards.
