7. MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
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.
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.
