BEFORE USING YOUR LAWNMOWER

Before using the lawnmower, all mower operators must read the following chapters:

• SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (page 2)
• CONTROLS (page 5)
• PRE-OPERATION CHECKS (page 6)
• OPERATION (page 10)
• MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (page 13)

CONTROLS

FUEL VALVE

The fuel valve [1] opens and closes the connection between the fuel tank and the carburetor.

OFF ON [1]

THROTTLE LEVER

For best cut quality, always mow with the throttle lever in the FAST position. When the cutting means rotate at the preset fast speed, they create a strong fan action that lifts and cuts grass more efficiently.

Do not try to increase the preset FAST engine speed; the cutting means could fracture and come apart.

FAST STOP

CUTTING MEANS CONTROL SYSTEM

To start cutting means rotation, make sure the engine is running and the throttle lever is in the FAST position.

1. Push down and hold the Roto-Stop® button [1].
2. Pull the cutting-means control lever [2] quickly against the handlebar allowing the engine to bring the cutting means up to full speed and then release the Roto-Stop button.

Continue to hold the cutting-means control lever against the handlebar to maintain cutting means rotation. Always keep the cutting-means control lever fully engaged while mowing. Do not partially disengage - doing so will reduce the life of the clutch system.

Release the cutting-means control lever to stop cutting means rotation. Always release the cutting means control lever before starting the engine to prevent the cutting means from rotating.

SELECT DRIVE CONTROL

With the engine running and the cutting means rotating, slowly push the Select Drive control [1] to propel the mower forward.

Normal operation is with your hand comfortably around

the handle bar and Select Drive control. Push the Select Drive control with your thumb into the indentation for boost operation (up a hill, or through thick grass).

You can reduce the ground speed by partially releasing the Select Drive control.

[2] [1]

HONDA SLR CAR [1]

Ground speed varies with terrain, grass height, slope, and grass bag weight. Moving the Select Drive knob or varying how far you push the Select Drive control forward allows you to maintain the desired ground speed under constantly changing mowing conditions.

Release the Select Drive control to disengage (stop) the rear wheels.

Disengage the drive when mowing around trees and other obstacles. Push the mower around obstacles for better directional control.

Adjusting The Select Drive Control Knob

The Select Drive control knob [1] allows you to adjust the maximum ground speed when the Select Drive lever is fully engaged.

Adjustment is from MIN to MAX. With the Select Drive lever fully engaged:

MIN will propel the lawnmower at its slowest speed.

CLIP DIRECTOR KNOB

The Clip Director knob [1] controls grass catching, mulching, and rear discharge. The knob has ten adjustment positions.

Be sure to wear protective clothing. Long pants and eye protection can lower your risk of injury from thrown objects. Wear footwear that protects your feet and won't let you slip if you mow on slopes or uneven ground.

CHECK YOUR LAWN

For your safety and for the safety of others, always inspect the area before mowing.

Objects

Anything that can be picked up by the cutting means and thrown is a potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks, bones, toys, and wire. Remove them from the mowing area.

People and Pets

People and animals near the mowing area can move into your path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear the area of people, especially children, and pets. Their safety is your responsibility.

Lawn

Check the length and condition of the grass, so that you will know what cutting height and mowing speed to use.

Avoid mowing wet grass. Not only will wet grass clog your mower deck and collect in clumps on the lawn, it also gives poor traction, increasing your risk of losing your footing.

CHECK YOUR MOWER

Cutting Means

1. Move the throttle lever to the STOP position (page 5).

2. Move the fuel valve to the OFF position (page 5).

3. Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug (page 14).

4. Tilt the mower to the right so the fuel cap [1] is up. This will help prevent fuel leakage, motor oil seeping into the air filter, and hard starting.

5. Inspect the cutting means [2] for damage, cracks, and excessive wear, rust, or corrosion.

NORMAL WORN BENT CRACKED NORMAL EXCESSIVELY WORN

WARNING

A worn, cracked, or damaged cutting means can break, and pieces of the damaged cutting means can become dangerous projectiles.

Blades thrown from the mower could seriously hurt or kill someone.

Inspect the cutting means regularly, and do not operate the mower with a worn or damaged cutting means.

A dull cutting means can be sharpened, but a cutting means that is worn out, bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or damaged cutting means can break, causing cutting means pieces to be thrown from the mower.

When a cutting means needs sharpening or replacement, take the lawnmower to an authorized Honda dealer. Or, if you have a torque wrench, you can remove and install the cutting means yourself.

Check that the cutting means bolts are tight (page 15).

Engine Oil Level

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on a level surface.

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ or later. Always check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later.

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.

30 5W-30 • 10W-30 0 20 40 60 80 100°F 40°C -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40°C

We recommend the use of Honda genuine oil to maintain the performance of the emission control system.

NOTICE

• Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

• Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine's service life, and using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.

• Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick [1], and wipe the dipstick clean.

• Insert the dipstick into the filler neck. Do not screw it down. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
• If the oil level is near the low level mark [3], add the recommended oil to bring the level up to the high limit mark [2]. Do not overfill.
• Install and tighten the filler cap/dipstick [1] securely.

[1] [2] [3]

Fuel

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol with a research octane rating of 91 or higher.

We recommend refueling after each use to minimize the air present in the fuel tank.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool. Never refuel the mower inside a building where petrol fumes may reach flames or sparks.

You may use regular unleaded petrol containing no more than 10% ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the fuel system. In addition, ethanol is hygroscopic, which means it attracts and retains water in the fuel system. Engine damage or performance problems that result from using a fuel with percentages of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above are not covered by warranty. Using the fuel indicated above is necessary to maintain the performance of the emission control system.

If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis, (more than 4 weeks before next use) please refer to the Fuel section of the STORAGE chapter (page 17) for additional information regarding fuel deterioration.

WARNING

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

• Stop the engine and allow to cool.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
  • Wipe up spills immediately.

Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

NOTICE

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.

Remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not overfill; there should be no fuel in the filler neck [1].

Red and black lawn mower with a yellow bucket being inserted, no visible text or symbols

After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

Move the mower at least 3 meters away from the fueling source and site before starting the engine.

Fuel Storage Container

Store your petrol in a clean, plastic, sealed container approved for fuel storage. Close the vent (if equipped) when not in use, and store the container away from direct sunlight. If it will take more than 3 months to use the fuel in the container, we suggest adding a fuel stabilizer to the fuel when you fill the container.

Air Cleaner Inspection

Remove cover [1]. Make sure the filter [2] is clean and in good condition. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. Refer to page 14 for air cleaner service.

[2] [1]

Handlebar Height Adjustment

Adjust handlebar height to a comfortable operating position (page 4).

Grass Catcher

A lawnmower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the catcher, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass catcher before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Catching performance will diminish after the catcher becomes about 90% filled. Also, the catcher is easier to empty when it is not packed full.

Inspection

During normal use, the grass catcher material is subject to deterioration and wear.

NOTICE

Frequently inspect the grass catcher for tears, holes, and excessive wear.

Check for necessary replacement. Make sure the new catcher meets the original specifications.

If the grass catcher needs replacement, you can remove and install a catcher yourself (page 16).

Installation

1. Raise the discharge guard [1], and use the grass catcher

handle [3] to hook the grass catcher [2] onto the mower deck as shown.

1. Release the discharge guard to secure the grass catcher.

[3] [1] [2]

Removal

1. Raise the discharge guard, grasp the grass catcher handle, and remove the grass catcher.
2. Release the discharge guard.
3. When the grass catcher is clear of the discharge guard, you can lift it through the handlebar opening, or you can remove it to the rear of the mower below the handlebar.

Cutting Height

Check the mower deck cutting height settings, and be sure that all four adjustment levers [1] are set to the same cutting height position.

Clip Director

Clip Director Knob Adjustment

Adjust the Clip Director knob [1] in any one of the ten positions to achieve the desired mowing results.

To adjust the Clip Director knob, pull the knob downward and towards the rear of the mower. The knob adjusts a sliding door [2] from the fully open BAG position to the fully closed MULCH position (see the following page).

[1] [2] (fully closed)

If a high resistance is noticed when moving the Clip Director knob from side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the sliding door.

Some grass accumulation in the discharge opening is normal when the Clip Director is fully closed. To remove this grass, close the discharge guard [3], fully open the Clip Director, start the engine, and engage the cutting means control lever several times.

Important Safety Precaution

Always turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug cap before lifting the discharge guard to view or clean around the sliding door. This will prevent contact with the rotating cutting means and prevent objects from being thrown into the discharge area.

Some grass accumulation in the discharge opening is normal when the Clip Director is fully closed. To remove this grass, close the discharge guard, fully open the Clip Director, and start the engine.

If a high resistance is noticed when moving the Clip Director knob from side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the sliding door.

Sliding Door Position

The sliding door [2] can be positioned to produce different mowing results. If the preferred sliding door position is unknown, install a grass catcher and begin mowing with the Clip Director knob [1] all the way to the BAG position. Check the appearance of the lawn. As the knob is moved towards the MULCH position, more grass will be recycled back into the lawn. Adjust the Clip Director knob until the desired result is achieved.

OPERATION

MOWING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (page 2) and PRE-OPERATION CHECKS (page 6).

Even if you have operated other mowers, take the time to become familiar with how this mower works, and practice in a safe area until you build up your skills.

For your safety, do not start or operate the engine in an enclosed area such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.

FREQUENCY OF USE

If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis, (more than 4 weeks before next use) please refer to the Fuel section of the STORAGE chapter (page 17) for additional information regarding fuel deterioration.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Turn the fuel valve [1] to the ON position.

ON [1]

1. Move the throttle lever [2] to the fast (♦) position.

2. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently.

To keep the cutting means from turning and to prevent the mower from moving forward, always release the cutting means control lever and Select Drive control when you pull the

FAST [2]

1. Put the throttle lever in the FAST (♂) position to mow or to the SLOW (♀) position to idle.

To ensure easy restarting and maximum performance from the Auto Choke System, start mowing as soon as the engine starts and allow the engine to run for at least three minutes before stopping the engine.

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 carburetor. If you always operate your mower at altitudes above 610 meters, have a Honda dealer perform this carburetor modification.

Even with carburetor modification, engine power will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on power will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

NOTICE

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 610 meters with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your authorized Honda dealer return the carburetor to original factory specifications.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Release the cutting means control lever [1] to stop the cutting means rotation.

2. Move the throttle lever [2] to the STOP (♀) position to stop the engine.

[1] [2] STOP

1. When the mower is not in use, turn the fuel valve [3] to the OFF position.

2. If your equipment will not be used for 3 to 4 weeks, we recommend running the engine's carburetor out of fuel. You can do this by leaving the fuel valve OFF, restarting the engine and running it out of fuel. See "Storage" on page 17 for periods of inactivity that exceed 4 weeks.

OFF [3]

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 to control the mower.

DANGER

The cutting means are sharp and spin at high speed.

If you come in contact with a spinning cutting means, it will cut you severely and can amputate fingers and toes.

• Wear protective footwear.
• Keep your hands and feet away from the mower deck while the engine is running.
• Stop the engine before performing any adjustment, inspection, or maintenance.

Stability

Mow across slopes, not up and down. Avoid steep slopes (more than 20^ ), and be careful when changing direction. Mowing on a slope when the grass is damp or wet could cause you to slip, fall, and lose control of the mower.

Obstacles

Use the side of the mower to cut close to large obstacles, such as fences or walls.

Release the Select Drive control 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, edging, etc. Avoid anything that sticks up above the surface of the lawn.

If the cutting means hits something, or if the mower starts to vibrate, stop the engine immediately and check for damage. Striking objects may damage the cutting means, bend the crankshaft, and/or break the mower deck or other components. Vibration usually indicates serious trouble.

WARNING

A worn, cracked, or damaged cutting means can break, and pieces of the damaged cutting means can become dangerous projectiles.

Blades thrown from the mower could seriously hurt or kill someone.

Inspect the cutting means regularly, and do not operate the mower with a worn or damaged cutting means.

The warranty does not cover parts damaged by accident or collision.

Gravel and Loose Objects

Gravel, loose stones, and landscaping material can be picked up by the mower and thrown many feet with enough force to cause serious personal injury and/or property damage. The best way to prevent potential injury from thrown objects is to release the cutting means control lever to stop the cutting means before reaching areas with gravel, loose stones, or landscaping material.

MOWING TIPS

When to Mow

Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown 12 \~ 25 mm above their recommended height.

More frequent mowing is required for mulching than for catching. 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 recommendations and advice about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area.

LONG ENOUGH

If you look closely, you'll see that most grass has stems and leaves. If you cut off the leaves, you'll scalp the lawn. Let the grass recover between mowings. Your mower will work better, and your lawn will look better.

TOO SHORT

If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height setting, and then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don't take off more than one third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may develop.

Cutting height adjustment levers are explained in the CONTROLS chapter (page 5).

Cutting Width

For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by a few centimeters. If the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower mowing swath.

Cutting Means Speed

The cutting means must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the fast throttle setting, and keep the engine running at maximum speed.

If engine speed drops, it could mean the engine is being overloaded by the cutting means trying to cut too much grass. Mow a narrower swath, move the mower slower, or raise the cutting height.

Cutting Means Sharpness

A sharp cutting means cuts cleanly. A dull cutting means tears the grass, leaving shredded ends that turn brown. When your cutting means doesn't cut cleanly anymore, have it sharpened or replaced.

Dry Grass

If the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides being unpleasant to work in, too much dust will clog the carburetor air filter.

If dust is a problem, water your lawn the day before mowing. Mow when the grass is dry to your touch, but the soil is still moist.

Wet Grass

Wet grass is slippery and can make you lose your footing. Also, wet grass clippings will clog the mower deck and collect in clumps on the lawn. Always wait for wet grass to dry before mowing.

Fallen Leaves

Your mower can be used to pick up fallen leaves for disposal. If using the mower to catch large amounts of fallen leaves, and not for mowing, set the cutting height adjustment levers so the front of the mower deck is one or two settings higher than the rear. To start, position the Clip Director knob in the #9 position (not quite full mulching). This setting will allow the leaves to be recirculated and recut until the particles are small enough to pass though the sliding door opening and into the grass catcher. Mulching when the leaves are still damp will help cut down on the amount of dust created.

Depending on the size, type, and water content of the leaves, it may be necessary to open the sliding door to allow for best catching results. Using the sliding door correctly will allow better grass catcher filling, resulting in less grass catcher emptying. Be sure there are no obstacles, including rocks, hidden under the leaves.

If you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don't let the leaf cover get too deep before you begin. For best results, start mulching while grass still shows through the leaf cover. Position the Clip Director knob in the MULCH position. In places where fallen leaves completely cover the grass, remove the leaves by raking, or use the grass catcher so your mower can pick them up for disposal.

Clogged Cutting-means Enclosure

Before clearing a clogged cutting-means enclosure, stop the engine and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. With the spark plug cap disconnected, tilt the mower so the air cleaner side is up.

Clear a clogged cutting-means enclosure with a stick, not your hands.

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 cutting means rotate, cause these mowing patterns to give the best results.

Mulching

Use a counterclockwise mowing pattern [1] when the Clip Director knob is in the full MULCH position. If the lawn has an irregular shape, or many obstacles, divide it into sections where you can use counterclockwise mowing patterns.

Catching

Use a clockwise mowing pattern [2]. This will give the best Clip Director and catching performance, leaving the least amount of clippings on the lawn.

Rear Discharge Mowing

Remove the grass catcher and close the discharge guard. Adjust the Clip Director knob to the desired setting and begin mowing in a clockwise mowing pattern [2]. If the lawn has an irregular shape, or many obstacles, divide it into sections.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Change

Drain the oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position and turn the fuel valve OFF. This will reduce the possibility of fuel leakage (page 5).

2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, and then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.

3. Place a suitable container next to the mower to catch the used oil, and then tilt the mower on its right side. The used oil will drain through the filler neck. Allow the oil to drain completely.

Please dispose of used motor oil and the containers in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service

Close-up of a red industrial machine pouring yellow liquid into a metal tray (no visible text or symbols)

station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or pour it down a drain.

1. Fill with the recommended oil (page 6).

Refill amount: 0.35 \~ 0.40 L

Do not overfill. Measure the oil level as shown below.

1. After changing the engine oil and before starting the engine, check the oil level with the mower on a level surface:

a. Remove the filler cap/dipstick [1].

b. Wipe the dipstick clean.

c. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.

d. If the oil level is below the low level mark [3], add oil to reach the high limit mark [2] on the dipstick. Do not overfill. If the engine is overfilled, the excess oil may get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air cleaner filter.

NOTICE

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

e. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

[1] [2] [3]

Air Cleaner Service

A properly maintained air filter will help prevent dirt from entering your engine. Dirt entering the carburetor can be drawn into small passages in the carburetor and cause premature engine wear. These small passages can become blocked, causing starting or running problems. Always use an air filter specified for your engine to ensure it seals and performs as designed. You will need to clean the filter more frequently if you operate the engine in very dusty conditions.

NOTICE

Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

1. Press down on the air cleaner cover [1] tabs, and then remove the cover.
2. Remove the filter [2] from the air cleaner housing [3].
3. Inspect the filter, and replace it if it is damaged.
4. Clean the filter by tapping the filter several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 207 kPa) through the filter from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
5. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner housing and cover, using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.
6. Reinstall the filter and cover.

Spark Plug Service

Required spark plugs: NGK - BPR5ES

NOTICE

Incorrect spark plugs can cause engine damage.

For good performance, the spark plug [1] must be properly gapped and free of deposits.

1. Disconnect the spark plug cap [2], and remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
2. Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench.

HONDA [1] [2]

1. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn or if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if you are going to reuse it.
2. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a suitable gauge. The gap should be 0.7 \~ 0.8 mm. Correct the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side electrode.
3. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
4. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer.

If reinstalling the old spark plug, tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats.

If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer [3].

TORQUE: 20 N·m

NOTICE

A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine. Overtightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the cylinder head.

1. Install the spark plug cap on the spark plug.

Spark Arrester Service

In Europe and other countries where machinery directive 2006/42/EC is enforced, this cleaning should be done by your servicing dealer.

The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it functioning as designed.

1. Allow the engine to cool.
2. Unclip the two red top cover tabs [6] on the muffler side of the engine, and then slightly lift the red top cover up to expose the upper muffler shield bolt [1].
3. Remove the three bolts [1] from the muffler shield [2] using a 10 mm socket wrench.
4. Remove the muffler shield [2].
5. Remove the set screw [4].
6. Remove the spark arrester [3] from the muffler [5].
7. Check for carbon deposits on the spark arrester and the exhaust port. Brush carbon deposits away. Be careful to avoid damaging the spark arrester screen.
8. Install the spark arrester into the muffler.
9. Install the muffler components on the engine, and tighten the three bolts securely.

CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENTS

Select Drive Cable Adjustment

With the engine off, loosen the jam nut [1] one revolution.

With the Select Drive control released, TIGHTEN [4] the adjuster by turning clockwise 1 revolution by hand, and then pull the lawnmower rearward to check resistance.

If no wheel resistance exists, repeat the above procedure until the wheels lock when pulling rearward. It will usually take more than 8 turns for the wheels to lock up.

Next, use the adjuster mark [3] and LOOSEN [2] the adjuster counterclockwise 8 complete revolutions.

[1] [4] [2] [3] FONDA

Hold the adjuster and tighten the lock nut against the adjuster. Push the lawnmower forward and pull backward and check for little or no resistance.

Start the engine to ensure the lawnmower does not move forward without pushing the Select Drive control.

CUTTING MEANS REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

If you remove the cutting means for sharpening or replacement, you will need a torque wrench for installation. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.

CUTTING MEANS SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the cutting means, or causing imbalance or poor cutting, the cutting means should be sharpened by trained staff at an authorized Honda dealer.

CUTTING MEANS REPLACEMENT: Use Honda Genuine replacement cutting means or their equivalent.

Cutting Means Removal

1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap. Tilt the mower to the right so the fuel cap is up. This will help prevent fuel leakage, motor oil seeping into the air filter, and hard starting.

[3] [4] [1] (2) [2] (2) [5]

1. Use a 14 mm (6 point) socket wrench and remove the two cutting means bolts [1] and special washers [2] from the cutting means control assembly [5]. Use a wooden block to prevent the cutting means from turning when removing the bolts.
2. Remove the upper [4] and lower cutting means [3].

Cutting Means Installation

1. Clean dirt and grass from around the cutting means mounting area.
2. Install the cutting means [3] and [4] using the two cutting means bolts [1] and special washers [2] as shown.

WARNING

Operating this mower with only one cutting means will result in an improperly seated cutting means.

Blades thrown from the mower could seriously hurt or kill someone.

Always use both cutting means as a set.

Be sure to install the special washers with the concave side toward the cutting means and the convex side toward the head of the bolt

The cutting means bolts are specially designed for this application and must not be replaced with other bolts.

[3] [4] [2] (2) [1] (2)

1. Tighten the cutting means bolts with a torque wrench [7]. Use a wooden block [6] to prevent the cutting means from turning.

[3] [4] [7] 49 ~ 59 N·m [6]

Cutting means bolt torque: 49 \~ 59 N·m

If you do not have a torque wrench, have an authorized Honda dealer tighten the cutting means bolts before you use the mower. If the cutting means bolts are overtightened, they could break. If the cutting means bolts are not tightened enough, they could loosen or come out. In either case, it would be possible for the cutting means to fly off while you are operating the mower.

Cutting-means Mounting Bolt Inspection

Inspect the cutting-means bolts for any signs of damage or looseness. If they are damaged, they must be replaced.

If they appear loose, a torque wrench must be used to accurately tighten the cutting-means bolts to the required torque. If you do not have a torque wrench, take your lawnmower to an authorized dealer to have the bolts replaced or tightened.

Use only Honda Genuine cutting-means bolts and special washers, since they are specifically designed for this purpose. Replacement part numbers are on page 18.

Inspect washers and bolt heads for looseness and damage.

[1] [3] [2]

TRANSPORTING

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 the OFF position. This will prevent carburetor flooding and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

OFF [1]

Handlebar Folding

1. Remove the grass catcher. You can place it on top of the engine, with the catcher opening to the front.

2. Turn the handlebar adjust knobs [1] 90° into the unlock position.

3. Fold handlebar [2] over mower. Ensure the blade control lever clears the engine when folding the handlebar.

When folding the handlebar, be careful to avoid kinking or pinching the control cables.

Loading and Unloading

Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport vehicle. Tie the mower down with rope or straps, and block the wheels. Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from the controls, adjustment levers, cables, and the carburetor.

NOTICE

To prevent losing control of or damaging the mower, do not use the drive system when going up or down a loading ramp. To prevent damaging the drive system, do not engage the clutch when the mower is rolling backwards.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

2. Use a suitable loading ramp. Adjust the loading ramp so that it is inclined at an angle of less than 15^ . If a loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the mower on and off the transport vehicle while keeping the mower level.

STORAGE

Proper storage is essential for keeping your lawnmower troublefree and looking good. The following steps will help protect the mower from rust and corrosion, and make the engine easier to start when you use the lawnmower again.

Cleaning

1. Wash the lawnmower, including the underside of the mower deck.

Engine

Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to prevent water from entering the air cleaner.

NOTICE

Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the air cleaner. Water in the air cleaner will soak the filters and can enter the carburetor or engine cylinder, causing damage.

Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least a half hour before washing.

Mower Deck

If using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment to clean the mower deck, be careful to avoid getting water into controls and cables, or anywhere near the engine air cleaner or muffler opening.

Before washing the underside of the mower deck, be sure the throttle lever is in the STOP position and the fuel valve is in the OFF position. Tilt the mower to the right so the fuel cap is up. This will help to prevent fuel leakage and hard starting due to carburetor flooding. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands from the cutting means.

Grass Catcher

Remove the catcher from the mower, and wash it with a garden hose or pressure washing equipment. Allow the catcher to dry completely before storage.

1. After washing the lawnmower, wipe dry all accessible surfaces.
2. With the mower in an upright position, start the engine outdoors, and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature to evaporate any water remaining on the engine.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
4. After the lawnmower is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.

Fuel

NOTICE

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.

Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old petrol will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your mower deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.

The length of time that petrol can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as 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 petrol was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

Short Term Storage (30-90 days)

If your equipment will not be used for 30 to 90 days, we recommend the following to prevent fuel-related problems:

1. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.

When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh petrol. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of petrol for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh petrol.

If it will take more than 3 months to use the fuel in your storage container, we suggest adding a fuel stabilizer to the fuel when you fill the container.

1. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated petrol has replaced the untreated petrol in the carburetor.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

3. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of fuel in the carburetor fuel bowl. Running time should be less than 3 minutes. Note:

4. All stabilizers have a shelf life and their performance will deteriorate over time.
   – Fuel stabilizers will not reconstitute stale fuel.

Long Term or Seasonal Storage (greater than 90 days)

Start the engine and allow it to run long enough to empty all the petrol from the entire fuel system (including the fuel tank). Do not allow petrol to remain in your engine for more than 90 days of inactivity.

Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation are not covered under the Distributor's Warranty.

Engine Oil

Change the engine oil (page 13).

Engine Cylinder

If the mower is to be stored for more than 3 months, remove the spark plug (page 14). Pour 5 \~ 10 cm ^3 of clean engine oil into the cylinder [1]. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug.

Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt, then return the starter grip gently. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder.

HONDA [1]

Placing in Storage

Since your mower will be stored with petrol in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of petrol 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.

Place the mower with its wheels on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.

The handlebar can be folded for compact storage (page 16).

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the mower to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the mower, promoting rust and corrosion.

Removing from Storage

Check your mower as described in PRE-OPERATION CHECKS.

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
