Hi, I've just bought a secondhand one of these but the owner did not have a
copy of a owners or service manual. I've tried to order one but the company I
tried to order them from said that although Honda are very good with spares,
they are very slow with manuals and could not guareentee delelivery in the
immediate future.

Any owners out there who could assist with a copy?

cheers

I have the F410 and the owners manual. I can't let you have the manual but
if I can be of any help please ask. The manual has the following contents:-

Tiller Safety
Component Identification
Pre-Operation Check
Starting the Engine
Tiller use
Stopping the Engine
Maintenance
Transportation/Storage
Troubleshooting
Specifications

Most of it is pretty basic stuff but if you're stuck with anything and
can't get a copy of the manual I could check it for you.

HTH.

Hi, i've never had a roto before, although I have used a rather ancient
two-stroke model. This F410 has a cable hanging loose on the right handlebar
and the lever is missing. Not too sure what that is for, I want to give it a
basic service (plug/oil etc). The main sections I am interested in are:

Pre-Operation Check
Starting the Engine

Maintenance
Troubleshooting

Couldn't be cheeky could I and ask if you have a scanner and could e-mail it to
me? or would it be possible if you could photocopy it? I would cover your
costs?

cheers

I did post that you might have a look on the Honda website and see if
the instruction book could be downloaded, but the post seems to have
dropped into a black hole somewhere.

Hi Greg,

I don't have a scanner at the moment but I *do* have a camera :-) Not as
good as a scanner for this purpose but I think it's done the job. Have a
look here :-

Click on the thumbnails for the full size pages. I hope I've included all
the pages you asked for.

Good luck with the rotovator - when I first got mine I found it very
difficult to use. I've got the hang of it since then thanks to help in this
group.

Not seen the rest of this thread but ....

I still have the F410 and the manual. If you're stuck I can scan the parts
you need and stick them on my website.

and...

I expect that carb was used in other Honda equipment so there will be spares
available. Have a word with your local Honda garden equipment dealer.
