SERVICING YOUR HONDA LAWN MOWER

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

1.Turn the fuel valve OFF (see page 9). This will reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

2.Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.

3.Place a suitable container

next to the mower to catch the used oil, then tilt the mower on its right side.

The used oil will drain through the filler neck. Allow the oil to drain completely.

Please dispose of used motor oil and the containers in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down a drain.

4.Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill; measure

the oil level as shown on page 35.

NOTICE

Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
