Your Riding Mower - Honda HARMONY H1011R Owner's Manual

TRANSPORTING and STORING
Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see page 6'1).
2. Remove the spark plug (see
page 62). Pour a
tablespoon (5 - 10 cc) of
clean engine oil into the
_
cylinder. Operate the
e
electric starter for a few
seconds (or slowly pull the
recoil starter rope a few
J:
times) to distribute the oil
in the cylinder. Reinstall
the spark plug.
Grease
Lubricate all grease points (see page 93).
Tires
Check tire air pressure (see page 68).
Battery
Remove and charge monthly.
Storage
If your riding mower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel
tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of
gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area
away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such
as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any
area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power
tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because
that promotes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave
the fuel valve in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage.
Park the riding mower on a level surface. Tilting can cause
fuel or oil
leakage.
