Engine Oil Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the recommended ranges.
The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API label
on the oil container. Honda recommends that you use API
service category SJ (or later) oil.

Check
1. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED (

) position to
prevent dirt from entering the engine.
2. Squeeze together the air cleaner upper tab at the top of the
air cleaner cover to release it from its catch, then flip the
cover down to remove it.
3. Check the air filter to be sure it is clean and in good
condition.
4. If the air filter is dirty, clean it as described under Air Filter
Cleaning (see P. 3-4 ). Replace the air filter if it is damaged.
NOTICE
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a
damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by the
Distributor’s Limited Warranty .
5. Align the air filter with the air cleaner base as shown.
Reinstall the air filter by locating the three air cleaner base
pegs into the three air filter holes. Slide the air filter over
the pegs until it is flush with the air cleaner base.
NOTICE
An improperly installed air filter will allow dirt to enter the
engine, causing rapid engine wear. Make sure the air filter
is properly installed and flush with the air cleaner base
before installing the air cleaner cover.
6. Reinstall the air cleaner cover by hooking the two lower
tabs on the bottom of the cover and snapping the upper tab
into place.
