SERVICING YOUR ENGINE
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and
systems may be done by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are ‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
Improperly maintaining this engine,
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.
To help you properly care for your engine, 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 engine under unusual conditions, such as sustained
high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or
dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
