7. MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance and adjustment are necessary to keep the riding
mower in good operating condition. Service and inspect according to the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
l To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, shut off the engine before
performing any maintenance. If you run the engine in an area that is
confined, or even partially enclosed, the air you breathe will contain a
dangerous amount of exhaust gas. If the engine must be run for any
reason, be sure the area is well-ventilated.
l To avoid serious burns, allow the engine to cool before performing
maintenance.
l Shut the engine off and set the parking brake before performing any
maintenance.
l To prevent accidental start-up, remove the engine switch key and
disconnect the spark plug cap.
l The riding mower should be serviced by an authorized HONDA riding
mower dealer unless the owner has proper tools and service data and
feels he is mechanically qualified.
IMPORTANT NOTICE 1 Use only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent for
maintenance or repair. Repla&ment parts which are not of equivalent
quality may damage the riding mower.
