MAINTENANCE
*
To
prevent accidental start-up, shut off the engine
and disconnect the spark plug cap before perform-
ing any maintenance.
* Use only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent
for maintenance or repair. Replacement parts
which are not of equivalent quality may damage
the mower.
Periodic inspection and adjustment of the Honda
HRA2 1 are essential it high level performance is to be
maintained. Regular maintenance will also help to
extend service life. The required service intervals and
the kind of maintenance to be performed are des-
cribed in the chart on the following page.
For longer service and greater efficiency, keep the
underside of the mower housing clean and free of ac-
cumulated grass clippings by washing it down with a
hose after use and/or cleaning it with a wire brush
and scraper. Remove any rust and apply a rust-re-
sistant paint. Cleaning and rust prevention are es-
pecially important before seasonal storage.
