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.

•

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 
mower 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.
