To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Do not operate the power head with the labels, and other parts
removed.
• Do not mount any incorrect parts and do not tamper with the power
head as it can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. Use
the parts that are designed for your model and application.
• Stop the engine with the engine switch to the OFF position in the
following cases:
– Before any operation around the power head.
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the power head.
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the power head for damage
and make repairs before restarting and operating the power head
again.
– If power head starts to vibrate abnormally. Check immediately the
cause of the vibration and perform the necessary repair.
– Whenever you leave the power head unattended.
– Before refuelling.
– When any person or pet is approaching.
– Shut off the engine immediately when the power head shows
abnormal vibration suddenly. Sudden vibration can suggest the
damaged rotating parts or loose fasteners. Examine the cause of
the problem, and do not start the engine before repair is made.
• The power head is faulty when the engine is idling by returning the
throttle but the attachment keeps turning, and idle speed adjustment
must be made. Consult your authorized Honda dealer.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the power head is in
safe working condition. Regular maintenance is an essential aid to
user's safety and retaining a high level of performance.
• Do not use the power head with worn or damaged parts. Parts must
be replaced, or repaired. Replace worn or damaged parts with Honda
genuine parts. Non equivalent quality parts may damage the machine
and be prejudicial to your safety.
