Servicing Your Tiller; The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda FC600 Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR TILLER

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 tiller, the following pages include a
maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple
maintenance procedures using basic 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 your tiller under unusual conditions (such as sustained high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in dusty conditions), consult your
servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs
and use.
Remember that your authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your tiller
best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Honda Genuine parts
or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are "certified" to EPA standards.
Improper 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.
