4 TILLER SAFETY - Honda tiers are designed to give safe and dependabe service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand this Owner s Manua before operating the tier. Faiure to do so coud resut in persona injury or equipment damage. Before operation, inspect the area in which you wi be operating the tier. Remove debris and other obstaces the tier might strike or throw, as that may cause injury or damage to the tier. Inspect the tier before operating it. Repair any damage and correct any mafunction before operation. Make sure a fasteners are propery secured. If you hit an obstace whie operating the tier, stop the engine immediatey, and check for damage. Damaged equipment may increase the possibiity of injury during operation. Never operate the tier without the V-bet cover and the recoi sarter cover. These covers protect you against possibe injury from contact with rotating parts. Do not use the tier when visibiity is poor. Under conditions of poor visibiity, there is a greater risk of striking an obstace or causing injury. Chidren and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to avoid injury from fying debris and contact with the tier or tier attachments. Know how to stop the tier quicky, and understand the operation of a contros. Never permit anyone to operate the tier without proper instruction. If peope or pets suddeny acpear in front of the tier, immediatey reease the cutch ever to stop the tier to avoid possibe injury from the rotating attachments. Aways stop the engine before ceaning the tines or making adjustments. Never touch the attachments whie the engine is running; serious persona injury coud resut. Gasoine is extremey fammabe and is exposive under certain conditions. Refue in a we-ventiated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or aow fames or sparks in the refueing area or where gasoine is stored. Do not overfi the fue tank. After refueing, make sure the tank cap is cosed propery and securey. 3

5 When tiing on an incine, fue spiage may occur. Keep the fue tank ess than haf fu to minimize spiage. Be carefu not to spi fue when refueing. Fue vapor or spied fue may ignite. If any fue is spied, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. Never run the engine in an encosed or confined area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause oss of consciousness and may ead to death. The muffer becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a whie after stopping the engine. Be carefu not to touch the muffer whie it is hot. Let the engine coo before storing the tier indoors. Wear protective cothing and shoes when operating the tier. Whie operating the tier, hod the handebars firmiy; they may tend to ift during cutch engagement. Be especiay carefu when operating the tier in reverse gear. You can more easiy ose your footing when waking backward.

AIR CLEANER (CONDITION AND OIL LEVEL) Remove the cover and inspect the eements, cean them if necessary (see p. 32). With the tier in a eve position, check the case oi eve. If necessary, add oi to the mark on the case. CAUTION: Never run the engine without the air ceaner. Rapid engine wear wi resut from contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the carburetor, into the engine. (2) Air ceaner cover (4) Oi eve (3) Air ceaner eements 11

13 D. ROTARY OIL LEVEL Pace the tier on eve ground and remove the oi eve check bot. The oi eve shoud be up to the ower edge of the check bot hoe. If the eve is ow, add oi unti it begins to fow out of the hoe. (1) Oi check bot 12 (2) Oi fier cap

14 E. FUEL Use automotive gasoine with a pump octane number (R ; M, of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher (uneaded is preferred to minimize combustion chamber deposits). Never use an oi/gasoine mixture or dirty gasoine. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fue tank. After refueing, be sure to tighten the fue tank cap firmy. Gasoine is extreme& fammabe and is exposive under certain conditions. Refue in a we ventiated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or aow fames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueed or where gasoine is stored. Do not overfi the tank and make sure the fier cap is securey cosed after refueing. Be carefu not to spi fue when refueing. Fue vapor or spied fue may ignite. If any fue is spied, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. i L_^^ (1) Leve mark 13

15 Gasoines Containing Acoho If you decide to use a gasoine containing acoho ( gasoho ), be sure its octane rating is at east as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types of gasoho : that containing ethano, and that containing methano. Do not use gasoho that contains more than 10% ethano. Do not use gasoine containing methano (methy or wood acoho) that does not aso contain cosovents and corrosion inhibitors for methano. Never use gasoine containing more than 5% methano, even if it has cosovents and corrosion inhibitors. NOTE: Fue system damage or engine performance probems resuting from the use of such fues are not covered under Power Equipment Warranties. Honda cannot endores the use, of fues containing methano since evidence of their suitabiity is as yet incompete. Before purchasing fue from an unfamiiar station, try to confirm whether the fue contains acoho, and to what percentage. If you notice any undesirabe operating symptoms after using a gasoine that contains scoho; or one that you think contains acoho, switch to a gasoine that you know does not contain acoho. 14

16 Starting the Engine with the Recoi Starter c?em!e Never run the engine in an encosed or confined area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas: exposure can cause oss of consciousness and may ead to death.
