Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance
or repairs. To prevent accidental startup, disconnect the spark
plug cap. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
These items should be serviced by your Honda servicing
dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically
proficient. Refer to the Honda shop manual for service
procedures.
Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine
proper maintenance intervals.
Check that there is no crack and abnormal wear-out in the belt,
and replace if it is abnormal.
Failure to follow this maintenance schedule could result in non-
warrantable failures.
Operate outside, away from open windows or doors.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
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 non-flammable solvent,
not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames
away from all fuel related parts.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your
engine 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.
