TILLER SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Honda tillers are designed to cultivate earth outdoors. Other uses can result in injury to the operator or damage to the tiller and other property. Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the tiller. The most commonhazards are discussed below, along with the best way toprotect yourself and others. Operator Responsibility Know how to stop the tiller quicklycase in of emergency. Understand the use of all tiller controls.
TILLER SAFETY Fire and Burn Hazards The exhaust system gets hot enoughto ignite some materials. - Keep the tiller at least 3 feet ( 1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. - Keep flammable materials away from the tiller. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a whileafter stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the tiller indoors.
TILLER SAFETY Keep Shields in Place Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by thrown objects and to keep you from touching hot engine parts and moving components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all shields inplace when the engineis running. Wear Protective Clothing Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Long pants and eye protection reduce the risk of injuries from thrown objects. Sturdy shoes with aggressive soles provide better traction.
TILLER SAFETY SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS These labels warn you of potentialhazards that can cause serious injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to a replacement. read, contact your Honda servicing dealer for Keep guard in place during operation.

STORAGE STORAGE PREPARATION Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your tiller trouble free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing yourtiller’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier t o start when youuse the tiller again. Cleaning 1. Wash the tiller, including the underside. Engine Wash the engine byhand, and be carefult o prevent water from entering the aircleaner.
STORAGE 2. After washing the tiller, wipe dry allaccessible surfaces. 3. Start the engine outdoors, and letit run until it reaches normal operating temperature to evaporate any water remaining on the engine. 4. While the engineis running, operate the clutch lever to expel water from thepulleys, belts, and other moving items. 5. Stop the engine and allowit to cool. 6. After the tilleris clean anddry, touch up any damaged paint and coat other areas with a light film oil.
STORAGE Fuel Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasolinewill cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your tiller deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
STORAGE Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor 1. Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel. 2. Loosen the carburetor drain screw, then move the fuel valve to the ON position. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured. Never use gasoline to clean engine parts. Use a nonflammable solvent. h - SEDIMENT CUP / DRAIN SCREW 3. After all the fuelhas drained into the container, tighten the drain screw securely.
STORAGE Engine Oil 1. Change the engine oil (page 31). 2. Remove the spark plug (page36). 3. Pour a tablespoon (5- 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. 4. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. 5. Reinstall the spark plug. 6. Pull the startergrip slowly until resistance is felt, and the notch on the starter pulley aligns with the holeat the top of the recoil starter cover. This will close the valves, so moisture cannotenter the engine cylinder.
STORAGE STORAGE PRECAUTIONS If your tiller willbe stored with gasolinein the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important toreduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power toolsare operated. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity,because that promotes rust and corrosion.
TRANSPORTING BEFORE LOADING If the engine has been running, allowit to cool fora t least 15 minutes before loading the tiller on the transport vehicle.A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials. OFF position. Make sure to Always turn the ignition switch to the turn the fuel valveOFF. LOADING AND UNLOADING If a suitable loading ramp is not available, t w o people should lift the tiller on and off the transport vehicle while holding the tiller level.
TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS ENGINE PROBLEMS Engine Will Not Start 1. Check control positions. Possible Cause Correction Fuel valve OFF. Turn valve ON. Choke OPEN. Move toCLOSED unless engine iswarm. Engine switch OFF. Turn engine switch to ON. 2. Check fuel. 3. Remove and inspect spark plug. 4. Take tiller to an authorized Honda servicing dealer, or refer to the shop manual. Out of fuel. Refuel (p.28).
TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS Engine Lacks Power Possible Cause Correction 1. Check air filter. Air filter clogged. Clean or replace air filter (p.34). 2. Check fuel. Bad fuel; tiller stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline. Drain fuel tank and carburetor (p.49). Refuel with fresh gasoline (p.28). 3. Take tiller to an authorized Honda servicing dealer, or refer to the shopmanual.
TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS TILLING PROBLEMS Poor Tilling Quality Possible Cause 1. Check that the throttle Engine speed is too lever is in the FAST slow to till well. position. Correction Move the throttle to the FAST position (p.11). 2. Reduce forward speed. Tiller is moving too fast Shift to slowerspeed for soil conditions. (P.20). 3. Check drag bar depth setting. Drag bar adjustment set to high. Lower drag bar adjustment (p.22). 4. Check tines Tines dull, worn, or damaged.
TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION TECHNICAL INFORMATION Serial Number Locations SERIAL NUMBER Record the engine and frame serial numbers in the spaces below. You will need this serial number when orderingparts, and when making technical or warranty inquires.
TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption willincrease. A very rich mixturewill ;also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation a t an altitude that differs from that a t which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION Oxygenated Fuels Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement. Before using an oxygenatedfuel, try to confirm the fuel's contents.
TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION Emission Control System information Source of Emissions The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the sameway, but it is toxic.
TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION Problems That MayAffect Emissions If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by your authorized Honda servicingdealer. Hard starting or stalling after starting. Rough idle. Misfiring or backfiring under load. Afterburning (backfiring). Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
