Checking Indicator Lamps - Honda HA4118H38A Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Holding the ignition key in the start position for more than five seconds
may damage the starter.
If the engine fails to start, wait at least ten seconds before trying again.
If you can't get the engine to start after multiple tries, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section on page 99.
After the engine has started, gradually push the choke knob in to the
OFF position. Allow the engine to continue warming for several
minutes before operating the tractor.
Once the engine has warmed, you should keep the throttle in the FAST
position while mowing. This keeps the blades spinning at the proper
speed and provides the best cut quality.
Do not use the throttle lever to adjust the lawn tractor ground speed
while mowing. Use the forward travel pedal and the reverse travel
pedal to adjust ground speed. Slowing the ground speed with the
throttle lever will adversely affect cut quality.
Checking Indicator Lamps
After the engine has started:
l
Battery discharge light should go out within 10 seconds.
l
Oil pressure light should go out within 5 seconds.
If lights stay on longer than indicated time, stop engine and refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section on page 99.
