washer to clean the product.
CAUTION: Do not point the water
directly at the fuel tank cap, electrical
components or the engine.
• Remove grease and oil from the handle.

• Make sure that all nuts and screws on the product

To replace the engine oil (LG 300,
Honda)
If the engine is cold, start the engine for 1–2 minutes
before you drain the engine oil. This makes the engine
oil warm and easier to drain.
WARNING: Engine oil is very hot directly
after the engine stops. Let the engine
become cool before you drain the engine oil.
If you spill engine oil on your skin, clean with
soap and water.
1. Put a container below the drain plug for the engine
oil.
