MANUAL CHOKE
Starting A Cold Engine
1. Pull the choke rod to the 
CLOSED position
2. Move the engine stop switch 
to the ON position.
Some engine applications 
use a remote-mounted 
ignition switch rather than 
the engine-mounted engine 
stop switch shown here.
3. Pull the starter grip lightly until 
resistance is felt, then pull 
briskly.
NOTICE
Do not allow the starter grip to 
snap back against the engine. 
Return it gently to prevent 
damage to the starter.
4. If the choke rod was pulled to 
the CLOSED position to start 
the engine, push it to the OPEN 
position as soon as the engine 
warms up enough to run 
smoothly.
5. The engine speed is preset on this type.
Starting a Warm Engine
If the engine has run out of fuel, pull the choke rod to the CLOSED 
position after refueling. If the engine has not run out of fuel, leave the 
choke rod in the OPEN position.
1. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly.
2. If the choke was pulled to the CLOSED position to start, push it to 
the OPEN position as soon as the engine starts.
Stopping The Engine
Move the engine stop switch to the OFF position.
OIL ALERT
®
 SYSTEM
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by 
an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in 
the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will 
automatically stop the engine [the throttle lever (ignition switch lever) 
will remain in a run position].
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level 
(page 5) before troubleshooting in other areas.
SERVICING YOUR ENGINE   
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE 
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free 
operation. It will also help reduce pollution.
To help you properly care for your engine, 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 engine under severe conditions, such as sustained 
high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or 
dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations 
applicable to your individual needs and use.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control 
devices and systems may be performed by any engine repair 
establishment or individual, using parts that are “certified” to 
EPA standards.
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.
