MAINTENANCE
The purpose of the maintenance schedule is to keep the tiller in the
best operating condition. Inspect or service as scheduled in the table

Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. Exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; Exposures cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death. If the engine must be run,
make sure the area is well ventilated.
Use only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent for maintenance or
repair. Replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may
damage the tiller.
