MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution and ensure the emissions
performance of the engine continues to be met.
To help you properly care for your mower, the following pages include a
maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple
maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that
are more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled by
professionals and are normally performed by a Honda technician or other
qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you
operate your mower under unusual conditions, consult an authorized
Honda dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs
and use.
Remember that your servicing dealer knows your mower best and is fully
equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Honda Genuine
parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a
given task.
AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
A properly maintained air filter will help prevent dirt from entering your
engine. Dirt entering the carburetor can be drawn into small passages in
the carburetor and cause premature engine wear. These small passages
can become blocked, causing starting or running problems. It is
recommended to always use a genuine Honda air filter specified for your
engine to ensure it seals and performs as designed. You will need to clean
the filter more frequently if you operate the engine in very dusty
conditions.
NOTICE
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged filter, will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by the warranty.
1. Press down on the air cleaner cover [1] tabs, and then remove the cover
[2].
2. Remove the filter [3] from the air cleaner housing [4].
3. Inspect the filter; replace if damaged.
4. Clean the filter by tapping the filter several times on a hard surface to
remove dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 2 bar/29 psi)
through the filter from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing
will force dirt into the fibers.
5. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner housing and cover, using a
moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that
leads to the carburetor.
6. Reinstall the filter
and cover.
WARNING
To avoid the lawnmower starting accidentally, pull off the
spark plug cap [1] before carrying out maintenance work.
WARNING
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem
before operation, can cause a malfunction in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance
recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and
precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this
