Spark Plug Service
Use only an approved spark tester (1) as shown in the dia -
gram.
Replace the spark plug every 100 hours or every season,
which ever occurs first. A spark plug wrench is available
from any authorised Honda service dealer.
Check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge and set at
0.7 - 0.8mm.
Keeping Engine Clean
Remove all grass and debris from the engine including the
exhaust / exhaust guard, the air ways in the top cowl and
the surrounding deck areas on a daily basis after use. Never
spray the engine with water during cleaning. Water can con-
taminate the fuel. Always clean with a brush or compressed
air.
Grass and debris may clog the engine’s air cooling system
especially after prolonged operation while cutting tall, dry
grass. The internal cooling fins and surfaces may require
cleaning to prevent overheating and engine damage. We
recommend that this service be carried out by an authorised
dealer.
Deck Housing
Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck
immediately after use.
