MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions
can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in .this operator’s
manual and the owner’s manual included with the power unit.
Safety Precautions
Make sure the engine is
off,
ignition key is removed, blade control lever is in the OFF position and all
moving parts have stopped before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will eliminate several
potential hazards:
-
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
-
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
-
Injury from moving parts.
Do
not run the engine unless the instruction tells you to do so. Even then, keep your hands, fingers,
and clothing away. Do not run the engine when any protective guard or shield is removed.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a
nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all
fuel-related parts.
For certain operations, the sweeper must be raised off the ground. Be sure the sweeper is solidly
supported and the wheels are blocked before you put any part of your body under the sweeper.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your sweeper best and is fully equipped to
maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine Honda parts or their equivalents for
repair and replacement.
Do
not alter or modify the sweeper. If you have any questions, contact your dealer.
