SERVICING YOUR SNOWTHROWER
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. The
engines is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded
gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends
exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a 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 load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or
pinging persists, see an authorized Honda servicing dealer.
NOTICE
Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause
engine damage. Running the engine with persistent spark knock or
pinging is misuse, and the Distributor's Limited Warranty does not
cover parts damaged by misuse.
