                        5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK  ~ ~~~  1. ENGINE  OIL  CAUTION:  Engine  oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.  Non-detergent oils and vegetable oils  are not recommended.  Be  sure to check the engine  on a level surface with the engine  stopped.  Use  Honda  4-stroke  oil  or an  equivalent  high-detergent,  premium  quality  motor  oil  certified  to  meet or  exceed U.S. automobile  manufac-  turer's  requirements  for  Service  Classification SE or SF.

                        2. AIR  CLEANER  Check  the air cleaner  elements to be  sure  they are  clean  and in good  condition.  Clean  or  replace the  elements if necessary  (page 17).  CAUTION: Never run the engine without  the air cleaner. Rapid  engine  wear  will result.

                        3. FUEL  Use  automotive  gasoline with a pump octane  number (9) of 86  or higher, or a research  octane  number  of 91 or higher  (unleaded  fuel  is  preferred to minimize  combustion  chamber  deposits).  Never  use  an  oil/gasoline  mixture or contaminated gasoline. Avoid  getting  dirt,  dust or water in the  fuel tank.  After  refueling,  be sure to  tighten  the  fuel  tank  cap  firmly  Gasoline is  extremely  flammable  and  is  explosive  under  certain  condi-  tions.  Refuel in a w

                        GASOLINES  CONTAINING ALCOHOL  If you  decide to use  a  gasoline  containing  alcohol  ("gasohol"), be  sure the  octane  rating is at  least as high as that  recommended  by Honda.  There  are  two types of "gasohol"  one  containing  ethanol,  and  that  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  cosolvents  and  corrosion  inhibitors  for  methanol.  N

                        6. STARTING THE ENGINE  1. Turn  the  fuel  valve  to  the ON position.  2. Move the control  lever  to  the CHOKE position.  NOTE: If  the engine  is warm or the air temperature is high, move  the  con-  trol  lever  away  from  the CHOKE position as soon as the  engine  starts.  11

                        3.. With recoil  starter:  Pull the  starter  grip  lightly until resistance  is  felt,  then  pull  briskly.  CAUTION: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine.  Return it gently to prevent damage to  the starter.  -------  With electric  starter:  Turn  the engine switch  to  the START position  and  hold it there  until the  engine  starts.  NOTE: Do not  use  the  electric  starter  for  more  than 5 seconds at a  time.  If  the engine  fails to start, release the  switc

                        7. OPERATION  When  the engine warms up, move  the  control lever from  the CHOKE posi-  tion  to  the  operating  position  for  the desired  engine  speed.  .  OIL ALERT  BUZZER (oil alert type only)  The "OIL ALERT" buzzer will  warn  you  before  the engine  oil  level  falls  below  the  safe  limit. If the buzzer  sounds,  stop the engine  and  add  oil (see  page 7).  CAUTION:  The buzzer indicates insufficient oil.  Running the engine with  insufficient oil can cause  serious  engine dam

                        8. STOPPING ,THE ENGINE  1. Move  the  control  lever  to  the STOP position.  2. Turn the  fuel  valve to  the OFF position.  11  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 en

                        9. MAINTENANCE  The  purpose of the  maintenance  and  adjustment  schedule  is to 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  con-  tains  poisonous  carbon  monoxide gas.  CAUTION:  Use  only  genuine  HONDA  parts  or  their  equivalent.-The  use  of  replacement  parts  which  are  no

                        1. Oil  change  Drain  the  oil  while  the  engine  is  still  warm to assure rapid  and  complete  draning.  I. Remove the  oil  filler  cap  and  drain  plug to drain the oil.  2. Install  the  drain  plug  and  tighten it securely.  3. Refill with the  recommended oil (see  page 71 and  check  the oil level.  4. Install  the oil filler cap.

                        2. Air  cleaner  service  A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow  to  the carburetor. To prevent  car-  buretor  malfunction,  service  the air cleaner  regularly.  Service  more  fre-  quently  when  operating  the  engine in extremely  dusty areas.  Newer use  gasoline  ar low .flash  point  solvents  for  cleaning  the  air cleaner  element. A fire or explosion could result.  CAUTION: Newer run  the  engine  without  the air cleaner.  Rapid  engine  wear will result.  1. Remove  the wing

To ensure  proper  engine  operation, the spark  plug  must be properly gapped  and free  of  deposits.  1.  Remove  the spark plug  cap  and  use  a  spark  plug  wrench to remove the  Plug.  If the engine  has been running, the muffler will be  verv hot. Be  -  careful not ta touch the  muffler.  SPARK PLUG  SPARK PLUG  WRENCH  2. Visually  inspect the
