INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.

1.Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over fill.

DANGER

Add fuel to the tank only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

2.Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed. For normal operation this lever should always be placed in the RUN position.

3.Recoil Starter (Pull Rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.

4.Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop the flow of fuel.

5.Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel mixture.

6.Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter canister to gain access to filter element.

NOTICE

Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

7.Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap according to engine manufacturer's instructions. Clean spark plug once a week.

8.Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions. NEVER touch when hot!

9.Fuel Tank – Fill with unleaded gasoline. Reference Table 2 for fuel tank capacity. For additional information refer to Honda engine owner's manual.

10.Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as recommended in (Table 4).

11.Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the engine's crankcase.

12.Engine ON/OFF Switch – ON position permits engine starting, OFF position stops engine operation.
