7. MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance and adjustment are necessary to keep the lawn trac-
tor 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 can 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.
To prevent accidental start-up, remove the engine switch key and discon-
nect the spark plug cap.
The lawn tractor should be serviced by an authorized HONDA lawn tractor
dealer unless the owner has proper tools and service data and is
mechanically qualified.
1 IMPORTANT NOTICE 1 u
se only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent for
