MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
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 mower, the following
pages include a maintenance schedule, routine inspection
procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basiic
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 the mower under unusual
conditions, consult a servicing dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and systems may be performed by any
enginerepair establishment or individual, using parts
that are "certified" to EPA standards.
Incorrect 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.
Maintenance Safety
Some of the most important safety precautions follow.
However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard
that can 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.
