Before use, make sure that the discharge guard is hard against
the bag.
Even in normal use, the grass bag tends to wear. Regularly
check that it is not frayed or torn. A worn out bag must be
replaced. Replace a damaged bag by a Honda bag only.
CHECKING FUEL LEVEL
Do not fill the fuel tank up to the brim (there must be no fuel in
the filler neck). When filling is completed, ensure that the tank
filler cap is screwed fully on.
Avoid getting fuel on the skin repeatedly or for long periods
and avoid breathing fuel vapours. Keep fuel away from
children.
To check the fuel level:
1. Remove filler cap [12] and
check fuel level.
2. Fill [13] tank if level is low.
3. Screw filler cap [12] fully on
after filling.
Fuel tank capacity: 0.93 
GASOLINE
Use only unleaded gasoline (octane minimum rate: 86).
CAUTION:
• Never use a gas-oil mixture.
• Only use unleaded petrol 95 or 98.
• Do not let dirt, clippings, etc. get into the tank.
C11
• Do not use dirty or contaminated fuel (water, dust, ...), or fuel
which is too old. The quality of unleaded petrol deteriorates with
C20 D6
time. Do not keep fuel for more than one month
NOTE: Any damage or engine performance troubles resulting from
inappropriate or bad quality gasoline usage will not be covered by
warraty.

FUEL CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If you intend to use fuel with alcohol, ensure that its octane number
is at least as high as that recommended by Honda (86). There are
two types of fuel/alcohol mixtures: one contains ethanol and the
other methanol.
Do not use mixtures containing more than 10% ethanol, or fuel
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), which do not contain
cosolvents, or corrosion inhibitors for methanol.
In the case of a mixture containing methanol with addition of
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, limit the proportion to 5% of
methanol.
[11]
NOTE: The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the fuel
system or engine performance problems resulting from the use of
fuel containing alcohol. Honda does not give its approval to the use
of fuels containing methyl alcohol since their suitability is not yet
proven.
