MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing mainte-
nance. 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 this owner’s manual.
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 cigarette, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-relat-
ed parts.
Remember that an 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, Honda genuine
parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
