9. MAINTENANCE
The Importance of Maintenance
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free opera-
tion. It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your power carrier, the following pages include
a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple mainte-
nance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are more
difficult, or require special tools, are best handled by professionals and are
normally performed by a Honda technician or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you
operate your power carrier under unusual conditions, consult your servicing
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before
I operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual.
