l

OPERATION

Be sure to fasten the seat belt whenever
driving the tractor with the
Rollover
Protective
Structure
(ROPS) attached.
Use of either device
(seat belt or ROPS) without the other will increase the chance of injury
in a rollover.
l
Adjust the seat belt so that it is snug.
o Be sure that the main Transmission
lever is in “Neutral”
and the front
and rear P.T.O. levers are in the “OFF”
position
before starting
the
engine.
l
Operate the tractor at low speed until you become familiar with all of its
operating
characteristics
and controls.
l
Do not operate the tractor or its attachments
without
ensuring the area
in front and behind is clear of people and pets.
l
Sudden stops of the tractor while driving at high speed or sudden startup with the steering wheels turned fully in one direction,
could cause
the tractor to overturn.
l
This tractor utilizes Four Wheel Steering (4WS) for a tighter turning circle and greater
mobility
than tractors
with conventional
steering.
However,
the feel of 4WS is slightly different from other tractors.
Practice driving in a wide, safe area.
l
Never operate the tractor or its attachments
when visibility
is diminished by darkness
or bad weather;
your ability
to see obstacles
will
become impaired.
l
Watch out for rocks, roots, holes and other obstacles
that may cause
the Tractor to overturn.
l
This tractor and its attachments
are intended for use on relatively
flat
terrain.
l
It is illegal to operate this tractor on public streets, roads, or highways.
l
It is legal in some areas to operate a tractor without
a U.S.D.A.
qualified
spark arrester.
Check local laws and regulations
before operating.
An
optional spark arrester for this product is available from your authorised
Honda tractor dealer.

When operating
the tractor on a slope, always drive up and down the
face of the grade. Turning or driving across the face of a slope may
cause the tractor to overturn.
To avoid loss of control or overturning,
always reduce speed and exercise extreme
caution when operating
on sloping or uneven surfaces.
Attempting
to change gears while operating
the tractor on a slope may
adversely
affect vehicle stability
and control and severe personal injury
could result.
Do not back down, or rapidly accelerate
up, a sloping surface.
To avoid loss of control or overturning,
do not turn or stop on sloping
surfaces.
When descending
a slope, disengaging
the clutch or shifting to neutral
can cause a loss of control that may result in severe personal injury.
Do not operate the tractor near the edge of a ditch or an embankment.
Slipping off the edge could lead to severe personal injury and equipment
damage.
To avoid injury to yourself and others, before leaving the Tractor unattended, ALWAYS.
- park on level ground.
- disengage
the power take-off.
- lower the attachment(s).
- Lock the parking brake.
- stop the engine.
- and remove the key.
l
If you find it necessary
to park on a grade, be sure to lock the parking
brake and securely
block the wheels.
l
Be sure to follow the instructions
below whenever
applying
the differential
lock.
- Be sure that the main transmission
lever is set in 4th gear or lower,
‘and reduce engine speed before applying
the differential
lock.
- Do not apply while turning the tractor.

Fuel recommendation
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plugs deposits and
extends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear light’spark knock”or”pinging”(metallic rapping
noise)while operating under heavy loads.This is no cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed,under normal
loadchange brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persistssee an
authorized Honda generator dealer.
INOTICE] Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging
can cause engine damage.
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is considered
misuse,and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged
by misuse.

Oxygenatedfuels
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 standardssome areas of the United Sates 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 oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some
states/provinces require this information to be posted on the pump.
The following are the EPA approved percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL- (ethyl or grain alcohol)1 O%by volume
You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume.
Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name
“Gasohol”
MTBE- (methyl tertiary butyl ether)l5%by volume
You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
METHANOL- (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume
You may use gasoline containing up to 5%methanol by
volume as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more
than S%methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems.lt may also damage metalrubber, and
plastic parts of your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station
or switch to another brand of gasoline.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an
oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates
mentinoed above are not covered under warranty.

Air cleaner
Check that the air cleaner elements are clean and in good condition.
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. A damaged
air cleaner will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.
1. Open the hood and remove the wing nuts to remove the air cleaner
cover and air cleaner elements.
2. Inspect
the air cleaner
elements.
Clean or replace the elements
if
necessary.
If the air cleaner elements
need cleaning,

formulated
for use in aluminum
engines.
Mix the antifreeze
with low-mineral

and water is recommended
for most temperatures
and provides
good corrosion
protection.
A higher

Towing

Never attempt
to tow anything
without
a trailer hitch. Failure to use a
proper hitch could cause the tractor to overturn
resulting in severe personal injury or equipment
damage.
Never allow anyone to ride in the trailer.
Traveling
and turning at high speeds while towing a trailer or other attachment
is dangerous.
Use 1st gear when towing
a trailer or attachment over rough ground.
Avoid sudden starts and stops while towing.
The momentum
of the
trailer or attachment
could cause loss of control resulting in an accident
and severe personal injury or equipment
damage.
The weight
of a trailer increases
stopping
distances;
use extra care,
especially
when operating
on a slope.

Use only those attachments
which are designed for the use with this vehicle (Category
0). If you have any questions
or doubts about the suitability
of any other attachments,
consult your authorized
Honda tractor dealer.
(
The removal of any rear attachment
is necessary

Counterweight

l

When an attachment
is fitted to the FRONT or REAR, the weight balance between
front and rear wheels is lost, which may lead to instability
while the vehicle is running (front wheel lift, etc.). To avoid this, it is necessary
to fit a counterweight
to
regain front-rear
wheel balance.
Make suitable counterweight
settings
according
to the list below.

m

Under no circumstances
should the total weight of the attachment,
counterweights
and wheel weights exceed 350 kg (780 Ibs). Failure to follow this
precaution may endanger yourself, and may cause damage to your tractor or
shorten its service life.

10. High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. Avery rich fuel
mixture may also foul the spark plugs and cause hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the
carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above 1,800 meters
(6,000 feet), have your dealer perform this carburetor modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about
3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude
on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
1 NOTICE ]

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,the
air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes
below 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) with a modified carburetor may cause the
engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low
altitudes, have your dealer return the carburetor to original factory
specifications.

9. MAINTENANCE
The Importance of Maintenance
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.

Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation,
can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance
schedules in this owner’s manual.

recommendations

and

To help you properly care for your tractor, the following pages include a
maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance 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 tractor under.severe conditions, such as sustained high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions,
consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are “certified” to EPA standards.

76

Maintenance Safety
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

Failure to properly follow maintenance instructionsand
cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions

precautionscan

in the owner’s manual.

Safety precautions
l

l

l

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
This will eliminate several potential hazards:
-

Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.

-

Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

-

Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.

Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools
and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean
parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.

Remember that your servicing dealer knows your tractor best and is fully
equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine Honda parts
or their equivalents for repair or replacement.

Emission Control System
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and
hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very impprtant because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical
smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way, but it is toxic.
Honda utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the
emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written
instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control
systems.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep
the emissions from your Honda engine within the emission standards.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute tampering are:
l

l

78

Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.
Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-adjusting mechanism
to cause the engine to operate outside its design parameters.

Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected
and repaired by your servicing dealer.
l

Hard starting or stalling after starting.

l

Rough idle.

l

Misfiring or backfiring under load.

l

Afterburning (backfiring).

l

Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

79

Replacement Partss
The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed, built, and
certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Honda parts whenever you have maintenance done.
These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same
standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance.
The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may
impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part
will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder
of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine
to comply with emission regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 82. Remember that this schedule
is based on the assumption that your machine wil! be used for its designed
purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
