Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:

To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine
Honda parts or their equivalents for repair or replacement.

Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the
tools and skills required.
