CHECKING THE AIR CLEANER

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 in the slots on the fixed support [14].

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 carburettor 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 carburettor 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 carburettor by your authorized Honda

dealer.

Even when the appropriate modifications have been made to the

carburettor, the power of the engine decreases by 3.5% for each

300-metre increase in altitude. Altitude will, however, have a greater

effect on power if no modification is made.

CAUTION :

• Once the carburettor 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.
