CHECK YOUR MOWER Blade 1. Turn the fuel valve to OFF (page 9 ) . Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug (page 36). 2. Tilt the mower to the right, so the carburetor side is up. This will help to prevent fuel leakage and hard starting. 3. Inspect the blade(s) for wear and damage B WARNING A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break, and p[...]

A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or damaged blade can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from the mower. When a blade needs sharpening or replacement take the lawn mower to an authorized Honda servicing dealer. Or, if you have a torque wrench, you can rem[...]

Fuel Fuel tank capacity: 0.29 US gal (1.1 l ) Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool. See page 37 for fuel recommendations and page 56 for information on oxygenated fuels. Remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel careful[...]

Air Cleaner Inspection Make sure the air filter is clean and in good condition. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. Refer to page 35 for air cleaner service. Mulching or Side Discharge The mower can be used to mulch or side discharge grass clippings. To mulch, make sure the side discharge chute [...]

Cutting Height Check the mower deck cutting height settings, and be sure that all four adjustment levers are set to the same cutting height position. The lowest setting is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) and the highest setting is 3-1/2 inches (87 mm). Each position increments about 1/2 inch (13 mm). To adjust cutting height, pull each adjustment leve[...]

MOWING PRECAUTIONS Before operating the mower for the first time, please review the MOWER SAFETY beginning on page 4 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. For your safety, avoid sta[...]

WARM ENGINE: Move the throttle to FAST. 1. SD: Release the drive clutch lever. If the drive clutch lever is engaged, the mower will move forward when you operate the starter. 2. Pull back on the flywheel brake lever and hold it against the handlebar. 3. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter g[...]

OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING Throttle Lever For best cut quality, always mow with the throttle lever in the FAST position. When the blade rotates 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 blade could fracture and come apart. When you [...]

Drive Clutch Lever (SD) Push the drive clutch lever forward and hold it against the handlebar to propel the mower forward. Release the drive clutch lever to stop the mower’s forward movement.

SAFE MOWING PRACTICES For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful to avoid losing your footing and your control of the mower. Keep a firm grip on the handlebar, and walk, never run, with the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground. If stuck, do not kick or shove the mower with your foot. Use the handlebar t[...]

Obstacles Use the side of the mower to cut close to large obstacles, such as fences or walls. Release the drive clutch lever to disengage the drive when mowing around trees and other obstacles. Push the mower around obstacles for better directional control. Be careful when mowing over obstacles embedded in the lawn, such as sprinkler heads, paving,[...]

MOWING TIPS When to Mow Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown 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 cutting height[...]

Blade Speed The blade must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the FAST throttle setting. 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, install the discharge cute, or raise the cutting height. Blade Sharpness A sharp blade cuts clean[...]

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, or many obs[...]

BEFORE LOADING If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the mower on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials. Turn the fuel valve to OFF. This will prevent carburetor flooding and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. If equipped, remove the g[...]

Inspect the plug; repl[...]

Carburetor Modification 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. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburet[...]

BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION If you remove the blade, use a torque wrench for installation. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands. To avoid weakening the blade, or causing imbalance or poor cutting, the blade should be sharpened by trained staff at an authorized Honda servicing dealer. If replacing the blade, use a genuine Honda replacement bla[...]
