ENGLISH
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have
the tools and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not
gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away
from all fuel related parts.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your
engine best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new genuine Honda
parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
(1) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
(2) Change engine oil every 25 hours when used under heavy load
or in high ambient temperatures.
(3) These items should be serviced by an authorized Honda
servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are
mechanically proficient. Refer to the Honda shop manual for
service procedures.
(4) For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper
maintenance intervals.
Failure to follow this maintenance schedule could result in non-
warrantable failures.
REFUELING
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
This engine is certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline.
If the fuel level is low, refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never
refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes can reach
flames or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded gasoline containing no more than 10%
Ethanol (E10) or 5% Methanol by volume. In addition, Methanol must
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content
of Ethanol or Methanol greater than shown above may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and
plastic parts of the fuel system. Engine damage or performance
problems that result from using a fuel with percentages of Ethanol or
Methanol greater than shown above are not covered by warranty.
.

spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is
not covered under the Distributors Limited Warranty (see page 11).
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Move at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the fueling source and site
before starting the engine.
