8. MAINTENANCE

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
To avoid the mower starting accidentally, pull off the spark plug cap before
carrying out maintenance work.
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 conditions, consult your servicing dealer for
recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
