Hot Restart
If the engine is operated at higher ambient temperatures then turned off and
allowed to sit for a short time, it may not restart on the first pull.
If necessary, use for following procedure:
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position before performing the following
procedure. This will prevent the engine from starting and running at
maximum speed when the throttle is in the full throttle position. If the engine
starts, with the throttle in the full throttle position, agricultural chemicals may
splash on you if the nozzle lever is in the “OPEN” position. This may result
in personal injury.
1. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
2. Move the choke lever to the OPEN position.
3. Hold the throttle lever in the full throttle position (FAST).
4. Pull the starter grip 3 to 5 times.
5. Follow the STARTING THE ENGINE procedure on page 25 and start the
engine with the choke lever in the OPEN position.
• 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 specific modifications to the
carburetor. If you always operate the power sprayer at altitudes higher than
1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your authorized Honda dealer
perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5 % for each 300 m (1,000 foot) increase in altitude.
The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor
modification is made.
CAUTION:
Operation of the power sprayer 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.
