High Altitude Operation - Honda HRC7018 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Safety Precautions
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.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure
you have the tools and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire 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.
For certain operations, the mower must be raised off the
ground. Be sure the mower is solidly supported before
you put any part of your body under the mower.
Wear heavy gloves when near the mower deck, belts, or
blades.
The mower uses pressurized oil to run the hydrostatic
drive system. Make sure all connections are tight and all
hoses and lines are in good condition before operating
the mower.
Remember that your authorized Honda servicing dealer
knows your mower 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.
