Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine
is level and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
Check the General Condition of the Engine
1. Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for
signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the
muffler and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts,
bolts, and screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
1. Check the fuel level (see page 4). Starting with a full tank will
help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for
refueling.
2. Check the engine oil level (see page 5). Running the engine
with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
3. Check the air filter element (see page 5). A dirty air filter
element will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance.
4. Check the equipment powered by this engine.

powered by this engine for any precautions and procedures
that should be followed before engine startup.
Failure to properly maintain this engine, or failing to
correct a problem before operation, could result in a
significant malfunction.
Some malfunctions can cause serious injuries or
death.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before
each operation and correct any problems.
OPERATION
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the engine for the first time, please review the
SAFETY INFORMATION
section on page 1 and the
BEFORE
OPERATION CHECKS
.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
For your safety, do not operate the engine in an enclosed area
such as a garage. Your engine’s exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed
area and cause illness or death.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered
by this engine for any safety precautions that should be

ENGINE OIL
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Recommended Oil
See Figure 3, page A-2.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements
for API service classification SJ or later (or equivalent). Always
check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it
includes the letters SJ or later (or equivalent).
Lubrication oil specifications necessary to maintain the
performance of the emissions control system: Honda genuine
oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature
in your area is within the indicated range.
Oil Level Check
See Figure 4, page A-2.
Check the engine oil level before each use, or every 10 hours if
operated continuously.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick [1] and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing
it into the oil filler neck, then remove it to check the oil level
shown on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill to the bottom edge of the oil fill hole [2] with the
recommended oil. To avoid overfilling or underfilling, be
sure the engine is in a level position, as shown, while adding
oil.
4. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s
Limited Warranty.
Oil Change
See Figure 5, page A-2.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Check that the fuel filler cap [1] is tightened securely.
2. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used
oil.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain the oil into the
container by tipping the engine toward the oil filler neck [2].
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
4. With the engine in a level position, fill to the bottom edge of
the oil fill hole with the recommended oil.
Some oil will remain in the engine after draining. When
refilling with fresh oil, start with less than engine oil capacity.
Slowly add enough oil to fill to the bottom edge of the oil fill
hole.
Engine oil capacity: GX25: 0.08 L (2 US oz, 0.07 lmp qt)
GX35: 0.10 L (3 US oz, 0.09 lmp qt)
GX50: 0.13 L (4 US oz, 0.11 lmp qt)
Running the engine with a low or excessive oil level can
cause engine damage. This type of damage is not covered by
the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
If any oil is spilled, make sure to wipe it up.
AIR CLEANER
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If you operate the engine in very
dusty areas, clean the air filter element more often than
specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (see page 4).
Operating the engine without an air filter element, or with a
damaged air filter element, will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered

HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
STORING YOUR ENGINE
Storage Preparation
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine
trouble-free and looking good. The following steps will help to
keep rust and corrosion from impairing your engine’s function
and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when
you use it again.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half
an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch up
any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a
light film of oil.
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force
water into the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air
cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the
air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing damage.
Fuel
Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel
formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel
deterioration and oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and
may cause damage to the carburetor and/or fuel system. Please
check with your servicing dealer for local storage
recommendations.
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated
gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits
that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your engine
deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the
carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or
replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and
carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with
such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and
whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a
partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm
storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel
deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even
less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting
from neglected storage preparation are not covered under the
Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer
that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel
deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.
Adding a Gasoline Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh
gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline
for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1. Add gasoline stabilizer following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors
for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced
the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3. Stop the engine.
37Z3V6000.book Page 8 Friday, June 8, 2018 10:35 AM
ENGLISH 9
Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
See Figure 18, page A-4.
1. Make sure the engine oil filler cap / dipstick [1] is tightened
securely.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap and drain the fuel into an approved
gasoline container by tipping the engine toward the fuel filler
neck [2].
3. Press the priming pump [3] several times until all fuel has
returned to the fuel tank.
4. Tip the engine toward the fuel filler neck again to drain the
fuel.
5. After all fuel has drained, reinstall the fuel filler cap securely.
Engine Oil
See Figure 5, page A-2.
See Figure 10, page A-3.
1. Change the engine oil (see page 5).
2. Loosen the hex bolt, then remove the top cover.
3. Remove the spark plug (see page 6).
4. Apply a couple of drops of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
5. Install the top cover temporarily.
6. Pull the starter grip several times to distribute the oil in the
cylinder.
7. Remove the top cover, then reinstall the spark plug.
8. Install the top cover, and tighten the hex bolt securely.
9. Pull the starter grip slowly until resistance is felt.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
Stop the engine and let it cool before handling fuel.
Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Keep away from your vehicle.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Storage Precautions
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. Select a well ventilated storage area away from any
appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water
heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a
spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are
operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil
leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to
keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or
melt some materials. Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover.
A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine,
promoting rust and corrosion.
Removal from Storage
Check your engine as described in the
BEFORE OPERATION
CHECKS
section of this manual (see page 2).
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank
with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for
refueling, be sure it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline
oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation,
the engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
TRANSPORTING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the engine-powered equipment on the
transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn
you and can ignite some materials.
TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS

throttle lever and cable fitting.
Attach the throttle cable as shown in the illustration.
To adjust the throttle cable, follow the equipment
manufacturers instructions.
Carburetor Modifications for High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be
too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will
increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and
cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from
that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of
time, may increase emissions.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific
modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your
engine at altitudes above 1,500 meters (5,000 feet), have your
servicing dealer perform this carburetor modification. This
engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor
modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission
standard throughout its useful life.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will
decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 feet) increase in
altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater
than this if no carburetor modification is made.
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 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) with
a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and
result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have
your servicing dealer return the carburetor to original factory
specifications.
Emission Control System Information
Emission Control System Warranty
Your new Honda complies with both the U.S. EPA and State of
California emission regulations. American Honda provides the
same emission warranty coverage for Honda Power Equipment
engines sold in all 50 states. In all areas of the United States,
your Honda Power Equipment engine is designed, built, and
equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and California Air Resources
Board emission standard for spark ignited engines.
Warranty Coverage
Honda Power Equipment engines certified to CARB and EPA
regulations are covered by this warranty to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship that may keep it from meeting
the applicable EPA and CARB emissions requirements for a
minimum of 2 years or the length of the
Honda Power
Equipment Distributors Limited Warranty
, whichever is longer,
from the original date of delivery to the retail purchaser. This
warranty is transferable to each subsequent purchaser for the
duration of the warranty period.

Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of
nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and
oxides of nitrogen are very important 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 appropriate air/fuel ratios and other emissions
control systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
Additionally, Honda fuel systems utilize components and control
technologies to reduce evaporative emissions.
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts, and Environment and
Climate Change Canada (ECCC)
U.S. EPA, California and Canadian 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 Honda engine emissions within the emission
standards.

Tampering and Altering
Tampering is a violation of federal and California law.
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may
increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts
that constitute tampering are:
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.
Hard starting or stalling after starting.
Rough idle.
Misfiring or backfiring under load.
Afterburning (backfiring).
Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
Replacement Parts
The emissions control systems on your new Honda engine were
designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA, California,
and Canadian emissions regulations. We recommend the use of
Honda Genuine 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. Honda cannot deny coverage
under the emission warranty solely for the use of non-Honda
replacement parts or service performed at a location other than
an authorized Honda dealership; you may use comparable EPA
certified parts, and have service performed at non-Honda
locations. However, the use of replacement parts that are not of
the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of
your emissions control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the
responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emissions
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 emissions regulations.
Maintenance
As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for
completing all required maintenance listed in your owner's
manual. Honda recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your power equipment engine, but
Honda cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure that all scheduled
maintenance has been completed.
Follow the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on page 4.
Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that
your engine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained
high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in dusty
conditions, will require more frequent service.

MESSAGES DE SECURITE
Votre sécurité et celle des autres sont essentielles. Vous
trouverez des messages de sécurité importants dans ce manuel
et sur le moteur. Veuillez les lire attentivement.
Les messages de sécurité vous avertissent de risques potentiels
de blessures pour vous et les autres. Chaque message de sécurité
est précédé d'un symbole de mise en garde et de l'une des
trois mentions DANGER, ATTENTION ou PRECAUTION.
Chaque message vous indique quel est le danger, ce qui peut arriver
et ce que vous pouvez faire pour éviter ou réduire les blessures.
MESSAGES DE PREVENTION DES DOMMAGES
D'autres messages importants sont précédés du mot REMARQUE.
L'objet de ces messages est de vous aider à ne pas causer de
dommages au moteur, à d'autres biens ou à l'environnement.
INFORMATIONS DE SECURITE
Comprenez bien le fonctionnement de toutes les commandes
et apprenez comment arrêter le moteur rapidement en cas
d'urgence. Veillez à ce que l'opérateur reçoive des instructions
adéquates avant l'utilisation de l'équipement.
Ne pas autoriser des enfants à utiliser le moteur. Eloigner les
enfants et les animaux de la zone d'utilisation.
Les gaz d'échappement du moteur contiennent du monoxyde
de carbone toxique.
Ne pas faire tourner le moteur sans une aération adéquate et
ne jamais l'utiliser à l'intérieur.
Le moteur et les gaz d'échappement deviennent très chauds
pendant le fonctionnement.
Maintenir une distance d'au moins 1 mètre entre le moteur et
les immeubles et tout autre équipement pendant le
fonctionnement. Ne pas approcher de matières inflammables
et ne rien placer sur le moteur pendant son fonctionnement.
PARTICULARITES
Embrayage centrifuge
L'embrayage centrifuge s'enclenche automatiquement et transmet
la puissance quand le régime du moteur monte à plus d'environ
GX25/GX35 : 4 200 min
-1
(tr/min), GX50 : 4 400 min
-1
(tr/min).
Au ralenti, l'embrayage n'est pas enclenché.
Ne pas faire tourner le moteur sans le monter sur un équipement
qui inclut le tambour et le carter de l'embrayage centrifuge, sinon
les forces centrifuges forceront les masselottes d'embrayage à
entrer en contact, ce qui endommagerait le carter du moteur.
Ces mots-indicateurs signifient:
Le non-respect de ces instructions
ENTRAINERA des BLESSURES
GRAVES voire MORTELLES.
Le non-respect de ces instructions
est SUSCEPTIBLE d'entraîner des
BLESSURES GRAVES voire
MORTELLES.
Le non-respect de ces instructions
est SUSCEPTIBLE d'entraîner des
BLESSURES.
Cette mention signifie:
Votre moteur ou d'autres biens peuvent être
endommagés si vous ne suivez pas ces instructions.

CONTROLES AVANT L'UTILISATION
LE MOTEUR EST-IL PRET A FONCTIONNER?
Pour la sécurité, la conformité aux règlementations
environnementales et la longévité de l'équipement, il est
important de consacrer quelques instants à vérifier l'état du
moteur avant l'utilisation. Corriger tout problème constaté ou
confier cette opération au concessionnaire avant l'utilisation.
Avant de commencer les contrôles avant l'utilisation, s'assurer
que le moteur est à l'horizontale et que le contacteur moteur se
trouve sur la position ARRET.
Toujours vérifier les points suivants avant de mettre le moteur
en marche:
Vérifier l'état général du moteur
1. Avant chaque utilisation, s'assurer qu'il n'y a pas de traces
de fuites d'huile ou d'essence autour ou sous le moteur.
2. Enlever toute saleté ou débris excessifs, tout
particulièrement autour du silencieux et du lanceur.
3. Vérifier qu'il n'y a pas de signes de dommages.
4. S'assurer que tous les protecteurs et couvercles sont en
place et que tous les écrous, boulons et vis sont serrés.
Vérifier le moteur
1. Vérifier le niveau de carburant (voir page 4). Le fait de
commencer avec un réservoir plein aide à éliminer ou à
réduire les interruptions de fonctionnement pour refaire le
plein.
2. Vérifier le niveau d'huile moteur (voir page 5). L'utilisation
du moteur avec un niveau d'huile trop bas peut
l'endommager.
3. Vérifier l'élément de filtre à air (voir page 5). Un élément de
filtre à air sale limite le passage d'air vers le carburateur, ce
qui diminue les performances du moteur.
4. Vérifier l'équipement commandé par ce moteur.
Pour les précautions et procédures à observer avant le
démarrage du moteur, consulter les instructions
accompagnant l'équipement commandé par ce moteur.
Un entretien incorrect de ce moteur ou l'absence de
correction d'un problème avant l'utilisation peut
entraîner un dysfonctionnement important.
Certains dysfonctionnements peuvent entraîner des
blessures graves voire mortelles.
Toujours effectuer les contrôles avant l'utilisation
avant chaque utilisation et corriger tout problème.
UTILISATION
CONSIGNES DE SECURITE D'UTILISATION
Avant d'utiliser le moteur pour la première fois, lire la section
INFORMATIONS DE SECURITE
à la page 1 et la section
CONTROLES AVANT L'UTILISATION
.
Dangers du monoxyde de carbone
Par sécurité, ne pas faire fonctionner le moteur dans un endroit clos tel
qu'un garage. Les gaz d'échappement du moteur contiennent du
monoxyde de carbone, un gaz toxique qui peut s'accumuler rapidement
dans un endroit clos et provoquer une intoxication ou la mort.
Pour les consignes de sécurité à observer au démarrage, lors de
l'arrêt du moteur ou pendant l'utilisation, consulter les instructions
accompagnant l'équipement fonctionnant avec ce moteur.
DEMARRAGE DU MOTEUR
Voir Figure 1, page A-2.
Se reporter aux instructions fournies avec l'équipement pour le
levier des gaz et le contacteur moteur.
1. Pour démarrer un moteur froid, déplacer le levier
d'étrangleur [1] en position FERMEE [A].
Pour redémarrer un moteur chaud, laisser le levier
d'étrangleur en position OUVERTE [B].
2. Appuyer sur la pompe d'amorçage [2] plusieurs fois jusqu'à
ce que la pompe d'amorçage soit remplie de carburant.
Même si la pompe d'amorçage est actionnée trop souvent, le
carburant superflu retourne au réservoir de carburant.
Si la pompe d'amorçage n'est pas suffisamment actionnée, il
est possible que le moteur ne démarre pas.
3. Placer le contacteur moteur [3] sur la position MARCHE ( ) [A].
4. Tirer doucement la poignée de lancement [4] jusqu'à
ressentir une résistance, puis la tirer d'un coup sec dans le
sens de la flèche [5]. Ramener doucement la poignée de
lancement en arrière.
Ne pas laisser la poignée de lancement revenir brusquement
contre le moteur.
Accompagner doucement son mouvement de retour pour ne
pas risquer d'endommager le lanceur.
5. Si le levier d'étrangleur a été déplacé en position FERMEE
[A] pour démarrer le moteur, le déplacer graduellement en
position OUVERTE [B] au fur et à mesure que le moteur se
réchauffe.
L'échappement contient du monoxyde de carbone
gazeux nocif qui peut s'accumuler jusqu'à atteindre
des niveaux dangereux dans des lieux clos.
L'inhalation de monoxyde de carbone peut
provoquer une perte de conscience ou la mort.
Ne jamais faire tourner le moteur dans un endroit
clos, même partiellement.
