Maintenance - Honda HR214 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
* To prevent accidental start-up, shut off the engine
and disconnect the spark plug cap and remove the
engine switch key (SMA type only) before per-
forming any maintenance.
CAUTION
* Use only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent
for maintenance or repair. Replacement parts
which are not of equivalent quality may damage
the mower.
Periodic inspection and adjustment of the Honda
HR214
are essential if high level performance is to
be maintained. Regular maintenance will also help to
extend service life. The required service intervals and
the kind of maintenance to be performed are des-
cribed in the chart on the following page.
For longer service and greater efficiency, keep the
underside of the mower housing clean and free of
accumulated grass clippings by washing it down with
a hose after use and/or cleaning it with a wire brush
and scraper. Remove any rust and apply a rust-
resistant paint. Cleaning and rust prevention are
especially important before seasonal storage.
