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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate
the engine.
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
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) For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance
intervals.
(2) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
(3) Change engine oil every 25 hours when used under heavy load or in high ambient
temperatures.
(4) 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.
* See your equipment manual or Honda engine shop manual.
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 unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane rating of 86 or higher.
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 may 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 under warranty.
NOTICE
Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to
spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is
not covered under your Distributor’s Limited Warranty (see page 13).
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling source and site
before starting the engine.
Adding Fuel
1. Remove the fuel tank cap.
2. Add fuel to the bottom of the
fuel level limit in the neck of
the fuel tank. Do not overfill.
Wipe up spilled fuel before
starting the engine.
3. Secure the fuel tank cap.
a. Non tether type:
Tighten the cap securely.
b. Tether type:
Tighten the cap until it
clicks.
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
owner’s manual.
