BEFORE MOWING
l Before mowing, always clear the lawn of stones, sticks or other debris.
These objects could be thrown out by the spinning blade and cause an in-
jury or equipment damage.
l Select a safe operating speed (gear position) for the area to be mowed.
5th gear should be used only while driving to and from the storage area.
l Always ensure that the area in front of and behind the lawn tractor is clear
of people, pets and debris before starting.
l Be very careful when you operate the lawn tractor in Reverse.
l Do not mow in Reverse unless it is absolutely necessary.
l Use extra care when pulling a trailer or when using optional attachments.
a. Be sure that any accessories (trailer hitch, etc.) are securely mounted,
and that they do not interfere with the safe operation of the tractor.
b. Reduce operating speeds when using attachments, and limit loads to
those you can safely control.
c. Use care when backing, and avoid making sharp turns.
OPERATION ON SLOPES
l This lawn tractor is intended for use on relatively flat terrain. Do not use on
sloped surfaces exceeding 10 degrees (17% grade). This angle may be further reduced by the condition and type of surface.

MAX
MAXIMUM loo (17 % GRADE)
.* If mowing on a sloping surface, always drive up and down the face of the
grade. Never turn or drive across the face of the slope.
l To prevent loss of control or overturning, always reduce speed and exer-
cise extreme caution when operating on sloping or uneven surfaces.
l Avoid turning or stopping on sloping surfaces; see page 31 for special
instructions.
l Do not back down or rapidly accelerate up a sloping surface; see page
31 for special instructions.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
l Leaves, grass clippings, oil and other combustible materials can be-
come a fire hazard. Be sure to keep the engine compartment, the upper
cutter deck surfaces and the belt and pulley areas clean.
l Damp, decomposing grass clippings generate heat-and can become a
fire hazard.
l To reduce the possibility of fire, allow the engine and exhaust system
to cool before storing the mower in an enclosed space or near com-
bustible materials.

4. PRE-OPERATPON CHECKS
For safe and efficient mowing, always make a pre-operation inspection
before mowing:
m TD prevent accidentat start-up, remove the engine switch key,
and disconnect the spark plug caps before performing the pre-operation
inspection.
CAUTION:
l Inspect with the Lawn Tractor on level ground.
l Pull up the parking brake fully, set thb shift lever in “N (Neutral)” and
P.T.O. lever in “OFF” position, and inspect.
1. Check the radiator screen.
CAUTION: If the engine has been running, the radiator will be very hot;
allow it to cool before proceeding.
Open the engine hood and lift the screen out of its’ holder. Remove any dirt
and clippings from the screen and the front of the radiator, and then reinstall
the’screen.
RADIATOR
2. Check the engine oil level.
CAUTION:
l Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
Non-detergent oil and 2-stroke engine oil are not recommended.
l Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine
damage.
a. Place the lawn tractor on a level surface.
b. Open the engine hood, remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick
clean.
.c. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
d. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick. If near or below the lower level
mark, fill to the upper level mark with the recommended oil.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality
motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturers’ re-
quirements for service classification SE or SF (Motor oils classified SE or SF
will show this designation on the container).
SAE low-40 is recommended for general, all-temperature use.

LOWER LEVEL
3. Check the fuel level.
Raise the seat and check the fuel gauge.
Refill the tank if the fuel level is low.
Your engine is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane
number (R ‘2 M ) of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 oi higher. Gasoline pumps at service station normally
display the pump octane number.
We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because it produces fewer
engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system
components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid
getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline
can cause persistent “pinging” or heavy “spark knock” (a. metallic rapping
noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
CAUTION:
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.
After refueling, be sure to tighten the fuel tank cap firmly.
If “spark knock” or “pinging” occurs at a steady engine speed

l Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
l 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.
l 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.
l Be careful not to spill fwel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ig-
nite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
l Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
KEEP OUT OF REACH .OF CHILDREN.
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it’s octane
rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types
of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do
not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain
Y cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline contain-
ing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
,NOTE:
l Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use
of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty.
Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence
of their suitability is as yet incomplete.
l Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel con-
tains alcohol, if it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If
you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a gasoline that
contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to ‘a
gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.

4. Check the coolant level.
If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, check the cooling system for
leaks and repair if necessary. Add coolant to the radiator and the reserve
tank, then check the coolant level in the reserve tank after the engine
reaches operating temperature.
hot.
m Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine
The coolant
is under pressure and severe scalding could result.
When the endine is at operating temperature, the coolant level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the reserve tank. If the level is near
the MIN mark, add coolant to bring it up to the MAX mark.
Coolant Recommendation
Use high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze that is specifically formulated for
use in aluminum engines. Mix the antifreeze with low-mineral drinking water
or distilled water.
A 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water is recommended for
most temperatures and provides good corrosion protection. A higher
concentration of antifreeze decreases cooling efficiency and is recommended
only if additional protection against freezing is needed. A concentration of
less than 40% antifreeze will not provide proper corrosion protection.
CAUTION: ,The use of unsuitable antifreeze, hard water, or salt water may
cause corrosion damage that will shorten the life of the engine.

High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively
rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by.installing a smaller diameter
main fuel jet in the carburetor and ‘readjusting the pilot screw. If you
always operate the Lawn Tractor at altitudes higher than 6,000 feet above
sea level, ask your authorized Honda Lawn Tractor dealer to perform these
carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 1,000 feet increase in altitude. The affect of
altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is
made.
CAUTION: Operation of the lawn tractor at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and
serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

CAUTION: Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear
will result.
1. Open the engine hood.
2. Remove the wing nuts and the air
cleaner cover. Remove the elements
and separate them. Carefully check
both elements for holes or tears and
replace if damaged.
3. Foam element: Clean in warm
soapy water, rinse and allow to dry
thoroughly. Or clean in high flash-
point solvent and allow to dry. Dip
the element in clean engine oil and
squeeze out all the excess. The
engine will smoke during initial
start-up if too much oil is left in the
foam.
4. Paper element: Tap the element
lightly several times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt, or blow
compressed air through the filter
from the inside out. Never try to
