Servicing Your Tiller; The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda FRC800 Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR TILLER
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 tiller, 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 tiller under unusual conditions, (such as sustained
high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in dusty conditions),
consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your
individual needs and use.
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.
Remember that your servicing dealer knows your tiller 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.
