Some
of the most
important
safety
precautions
follow.
However,
we cannot
warn you ofeveryconceivable
hazard thatcan
arise in performing
maintenance.
Only you can decide whether
or not you should
perform
a given task.
Failure to properly follow maintenance
instructions
and precautions
can cause
you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures
and precautions
in the owner's manual.
Safety precautions
l
Make sure the engine
is off before you begin any maintenance
or repairs. This
will eliminate
several
potential
hazards:
-
Carbon monoxide
poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate
ventilation
whenever
you operate
the engine.
-
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine
and exhaust
system cool before
touching.
-
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine
unless instructed
to do so.
l
Read the instructions
before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
l
To reduce the possibility
offire or explosion,
be careful when working
around
gasoline.
Use only a nonflammable
solvent,
not gasoline,
to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes,
sparks,
and flames
away from all fuel-related
parts.
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
or replacement.
