Safety instructions
Please read before using mower.
1.
2.
Never mow while barefoot or wearing open sandals or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes.
Know your controls. Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in any
emergency.
3.
4.
Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and any debris, as they could be picked up and
thrown by the bladel.
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark [tug cap before clearing blockages, checking or working on the
mower.
5.
6.
7.
Before using, always visually inspect to see that blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
Damaged blades and worn bolts are major hazards.
Check all nuts, bolts and screws often: always be sure the mower is in safe operating condition.
Use only replacement parts made and guaranteed by Honda Australia Pty. Ltd.
Refuel outdoors only. Do not smoke while fuelling engine. Add fuel before starting engine. Never remove the
cap off the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or the engine is hot. lf fuel is spilled, do not
attempt to start the engine bui move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source
of ignition untilfuel vapours have dissipated.
B.
9.
Do not mow whilst people, especially children, or pets are in the mowing area.
Replace worn or faulty silencers.
14. Do not allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.
15. Store the mower in a wellventilated room away from naked flames such as may be found in hot waier
heaters.
speed the engine or alter governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens mower
life.

lf your mower will be stored with fuel in the fuel tank and carburettor, it is
important to reduce the hazard of fuel vapour ignition. Select a well
ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a
flame, such as a furnace or water heater. Also avoid any area with a spark producing electric motor, or where
power tools are operated.
lf possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because they may promote rust and corrosion.
lf there is fuel in the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in the OFF position.
Keep the mower level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine 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 non-porous cover will trap moisture
around the engine, promoting rust and corrosion.
1.
2.
Check your mower as described in the pre-operation checks section of this manual (refer page 11).
lf the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh fuel. lf you keep a container of fuel
for refuelling, be sure it contains only fresh fuel. Fuel oxidises and deteriorates over time, causing hard
starting.
3.
lf the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine will smoke briefly at start-up. This is
normal.

Maintenance

)eriodic inspection and adjustment of your Honda lawnmower is essential if high level performance is to be
naintained. Regular maintenance will also ensure long service life. The required service intervals and the kind of

Cutting height
Consult a local nursery or lawrt'and garden centre for cutting height recommendations and advice about specific
lypes of grasses and growing conditions in your area.
lf you look closely, you'll see
ihai most grass has stems and leaves. lf you cut off the leaves, you'll scalp the lawn.
cut it once at the highest height setting 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 width
For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing path by a few inches. lf the grass is very tall or thick, use more
BIade speed
fhe blade must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the fast throttle setting and keep the engine running at
maximum rpm.
lf engine speed drops, that means the blades are trying to take
BIade sharpness
Sharp blades cut cleanly. Dull blades tear the grass, leaving shredded ends that turn brown.
y'Vhen
your blades don't cut 'cleanly' anymore, have them sharpened or replaced.
Dry grass
f the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides being unpleasant to work in, too must dust will
:log the air filter.
f dust is a problem, water your lawn the day before mowing. Mow when the grass is dry to touch, but the soil is
still moist.
Wet grass
/Vet grass clippings tend to clog the mower deck and chute, and they will lie in clumps on the lawn. Always wait
33
Mulching grass
Mulching cuts grass clippings into fine particles that fall through the turf and decompose quickly. This returns
nutrients to the soil and reduces the need for raking, bagging and disposal.
Honda mower decks that are designed for mulching have a plug or cover plate to close the discharge opening
and re-circulate the grass clippings through a special mulching plate.
For best mulching results, mow the lawn frequently, cutting off less than one inch of
grass each time. ln growing season, you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a
week.
A counter-clockwise mowing pattern is the most efficient for mulching. This is due to
mower deck design and blade rotational direction. lf your lawn has an irregular'shape,
or many obstacles, divide it into sections where you can use counter-clockwise mowing
patterns.
MULCHING PATTERN
A relatively slow forward speed will help to assure thorough mulching, especially in thick grass.
Mulching requires more attention to operation and maintenance than other kinds of mowing. lt's very important
that the grass clippings get cut into fine particles and are distributed on the lawn without clumping.
o
o
.
.
Mulching Ieaves
lf you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don't let them get too deep before you begin. For best results,
start mulching while grass still shows through the leaf cover.
Gatching grass
Catching should be considered where you want the area to be clear of lawn clippings
such as around swimming pools.
A grass catcher works like the bag on a vacuum cleaner. The mowing blade blows air
through ihe catcher which traps the grass clippings.
Clogged grass catchers will not work well. Always empty grass catchers before they
become packed full. Wash dirty grass catchers with a garden hose, and allow them to
dry completely before use.
A clockwise mowing pattern will give the best catching performance, leaving the least
amount of clippings on the lawn. This is due to mower deck design and blade rotational
direction.
