Your 4-Cycle Tiller will require some basic maintenance
to keep it performing year after year.
If you are storing your Tiller for longer than 30 days, it is
very important to empty the fuel tank to prevent engine
damage.
Check engine oil level, air lter and fuel lter.
Refer to your Honda

engine manual for more details.
Fuel Filter
If the engine is overlled, oil will enter the crankcase and will not simply
pour out of the oil ll opening. The excessive oil must be pumped out
as the engine runs. Check the oil level and drain any excess between
multiple 30-second running intervals to bring the oil back to the proper
level.
If you suspect the engine oil is overlled, the following procedure should
remove the excess oil from the crankcase and valve cover.
1. Place the engine on a level surface (resting at on the fuel tank)
and remove the oil ll cap/dipstick. Use a bucket to collect oil that
overows from the oil ll opening.
2. Replace the oil ll cap/dipstick and run the engine for approximately
30 seconds, then repeat step one.
3. Continue steps 1 & 2 until oil no longer overows when the oil ll cap/
dipstick is removed.
4. Once the overlled oil is removed, continue to run the engine. It may
continue to smoke for several minutes while the residual oil burns off.
4-CYCLE PROPER OIL FILL/
LEVEL CHECK POSITION
