CHECKING THE AIR FILTER

CAUTION:

• Never run the engine when the air filter is not installed as this

could lead to premature wear of the engine.

To check the condition of the air
cleaner:
1. Press the tabs [11] located

on the top of the air filter
cover and release the
cover [12].

2. Check whether the filter

element [13] is clean. If it is
dirty, follow the cleaning
procedure see the section on
"Maintenance / Air filter".

3. Reinstall the filter [13] and fit the cover [12] by inserting the

retaining lugs [14] in the slots on the fixed support.

STARTING THE
ENGINE

STARTING THE ENGINE

Do not squeeze the throttle when starting the engine. If the
throttle control lever is squeezed, the motor hoe's rotating
tines are set into motion and could cause an accident or injury.

1. Check that the fuel drain

screw [2] is fully tightened.

2. Open the fuel cock [1]

(horizontal position).

3. Set the circuit breaker [3] to

the "I" position (ON).

4. Set the choke lever [4] to the

"ON" position (lever pulled
fully out).

NOTE:

Do not use the choke if

the engine is already warm or if
the ambient air temperature is
high.

5. Gently pull the recoil starter

handle [5] until you feel
resistance, then pull
vigorously.

NOTE:

Do not release the recoil

starter handle suddenly. Hold it
so that it is rewound gently.
6. If the choke lever was moved

to the "ON" position to start
the engine, return it to the
"OFF" position as soon as the
engine is hot enough to run
smoothly with the choke
"OFF".

7. To stop the engine: see the section on Operation.

ENGINE FLOODED

If the engine still fails to start after pulling the recoil starter handle
several times, it may be flooded.

To clear a flooded engine:
1. Set the circuit breaker to the "O" position (OFF).
2. Remove the spark plug and dry it. When reinstalling the spark

plug, screw it finger-tight onto its seat. Then use the spark plug
wrench to tighten it by a further 1/8 to 1/4 turn in order to properly
compress the gasket.

3. Then resume the normal procedure to start the engine see the

section on "Starting the engine".

OPERATING HINTS
AND TIPS

OPERATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE

At high altitude, the standard fuel/air mixture in the carburetor is too
rich, causing a decrease in performance and an increase in fuel
consumption.
Performance at high altitude can be improved by installing a jet with
a smaller diameter in the carburetor and by adjusting the mixture
screw. If you use your motor hoe at an altitude of more than 1 800
metres above sea level, it is recommended to have these
modifications made on your carburetor by your authorized Honda
dealer.
Even when the appropriate modifications have been made to the
carburetor, the power of the engine decreases by 3.5 % for each
300 metres increase in altitude. Altitude will, however, have a
greater effect on power if no modification is made.

CAUTION:

• Once the carburetor has been adjusted for a given altitude, do not

use the motor hoe at a lower altitude as this could result in
overheating of the engine and cause serious damage owing to a
air/fuel mixture that is much too weak.

OPERATION

1. Push the handlebar [6]

slightly down so as to
raise the front of the
machine by between 6
and 8 degrees [7].

2. Squeeze the throttle

lever to start the tilling
implements rotating. Try
to keep the machine at
the specified angle when
working.

NOTE:

If the motor hoe goes

forward too fast, put more
weight on the handlebar so
as to push the depth bar into the ground and slow down the motor
hoe. Keep applying pressure until you obtain the appropriate
working depth. If the tines go too deep and the motor hoe no longer
moves forward, decrease the downward pressure on the handlebar
and move it from left to right in order to free the motor hoe.
3. To make turns, push firmly down on the handlebar and steer the

motor hoe round the depth bar.

CAUTION:

• If you use the motor hoe on a slope, it may tip over.

• Never use the motor hoe at night.
• Check the motor hoe for any signs of damage or other faults each

time you use it.
