OPERATION MOWING PRECAU-tilONS Before operating the mower for the first time, please review the /MPORTANT SAFETY lNFORMAT/ON beginning on page 6 and the previous chapter, titled BEFORE OPERATION. Even if you have operated other mowers, take time to become familiar with how this mower works and practice in a safe area until you build up your skills.[...]

OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE The blade turns when you operate the starter. It is easiest to start the engine in a clear or mowed area where the blade can turn freely. 1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position. FUEL VALVE 2. Move the throttle lever to the proper starting position. COLD ENGINE: Move the throttle lever to the CHOKE position. CHOKE WA[...]

OPERATION OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING Throttle Lever For best cut quality, always mow with the throttle lever in the FAST position. When the blades rotate at the preset fast speed, it creates a strong fan action that lifts and cuts grass more efficiently. Do not try to increase the preset engine speed, the blades could fracture and come apart[...]

If the blade hits something, or if the mower starts to vibrate[...]

OPERATION MOWING TIPS When to Mow Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown l/p to 1 inch above their recommended height. More frequent mowing is required for mulching than for bagging. For best results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during the growing season. Cutting Height Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center for [...]

OPERATION Blade Speed The blade must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the FAST throttle setting, and keep the engine running at maximum rpm. If engine speed drops, it could mean the engine is being overloaded by the blade trying to cut too much grass. Mow a narrower swath, move the mower slower, or raise the cutting height. Blade Sharpnes[...]

OPERATION Mowing Patterns Your Honda mower will work most efficiently if you use the following mowing patterns as much as possible. Mower deck and equipment design, and the direction in which the blade rotates, cause these mowing patterns to give the best results. Mulching Use a counterclockwise mowing pattern. If the lawn has an irregular shape, o[...]
