• Before performing any maintenance, place the grass/weed trimmer
on a level surface, stop the engine and make sure that the engine
switch is in the OFF position to be certain the engine will not start
accidentally.
• The grass/weed trimmer should be serviced by an authorized Honda
dealer unless the owner has proper tools and service data and feels
he is mechanically qualified.
CAUTION:
Use genuine Honda parts or their equivalent for maintenance or repair.
Replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the
trimmer.
Periodic inspection and adjustment of the Honda UMK425T is essential
if high level performance is to be maintained. Regular maintenance will
also help to extend service life. The required service intervals and the
kind of maintenance to be performed are described in chart on the
following page 46.
For longer service and efficiency, keep the underside of the grass
deflector clean and free of accumulated grass clippings by washing it
down with a hose after each use and/or cleaning it with a wire brush
and scraper.
