Figure 4. MVH-402GHB Engine Components

INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine manual for instructions & 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.

WARNING

Adding fuel to the tank should be accomplished 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 (lever

 

advanced forward SLOW, lever back toward operator

 

FAST).

3.

Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull

 

the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and

 

smoothly.

4.

Starter Grip – Grip this handle to start engine.See engine

 

starting section of this manual.

5.

Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop

 

the flow of fuel.

6.

Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in

 

cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel

 

mixture.

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

Operating the engine without an air

NOTEfilter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of replacement will

allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap (HONDA) to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch). Clean spark plug once a week.

9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions. Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO

NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after

operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.

10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional information refer to engine owner's manual.
