ated according t o instructions. Read and understand this Owner’s
Manual before operating the engine. Failure to do could result in per- sonal injury or equipment damage.
To
prevent fire hazards and t o provide adequate ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter ment during operation.
Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
a possibility of burns from hot engine components or injury from any equipment the engine may be used to operate.
Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the operation of all controls. Never permit anyone t o operate the engine without proper instructions.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling area or where gasoline is stored.
Do
not overfill the fuel tank. After closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may i,gnite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the engine.
Never run the engine area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure may cause
loss
of con- sciousness and may lead t o death.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire before transporting it

We
recommend that you use unleaded fuel because engine and spark plug deposits and extends it produces fewer the life of exhaust system components.
NeGer use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getring dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause persistent “pinging” or heavy ”spark knock” (a metallic rapp- ing:noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
If ”spark knock” or “pinging” occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so is con- sidered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by Honda’s
Limited Warranty.
OcCasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means your engine is operating efficiently.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.

9. MAINTENANCE
The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule is t o keep the engine in good operating condition. Inspect or service as scheduled in the table below.
Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must be run, make sure the area is well ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Use only genuine HONDA parts or their equivalent. The use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the engine.

Air cleaner service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air f l o w t o the carburetor. To prevent car- buretor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more fre- quently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
