Figure 4. Engine Controls and
Components (Honda GX390K1QWT2)
INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.
Operating the engine without an air
filter, with a damaged air filter, or a
filter in need of replacement will
allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
NOTE
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
Adding fuel to the tank should be
accomplished only when the engine is
stopped and has had an opportunity to cool
down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT
attempt to start the engine until the fuel
residue has been completely wiped up, and the area
surrounding the engine is dry.
2. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever
advanced forward
SLOW
, lever back toward operator
FAST
).
3. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly.
4. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.
5. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.
6. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
7. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap (HONDA) to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031
inch). Clean spark plug once a week.
8. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions. Engine
components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns,
DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with
the muffler removed.
