ENGLISH
Rear Shield
During normal use the rear shield is subject to deterioration and wear.
Remove the grass catcher and raise the discharge guard [1] to check
the rear shield [2] for cracks or tears. If the rear shield is excessively
worn, have it replaced by your authorized Honda servicing dealer.
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. Grass
catcher 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 14).
Installation
1. Raise the
discharge guard
[1], and use the
grass catcher
handle [2] to hook
the grass catcher
[3] onto the
cutting-means
enclosure as
shown.
2. Release the
discharge guard to
secure the grass
catcher.
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 lawnmower below the handlebar.
Cutting Height
Check the mower deck
cutting height settings, and
be sure that both
adjustment levers [1] are
set to the same cutting
height position.
Clip Direction
Clip Director Adjustment
The Clip Director can be
adjusted to either the CATCH or
MULCH position to achieve the
desired mowing results.
Adjust the Clip Director lever to
either the catch (shutter door
fully open) or mulch (shutter
door fully closed).
To adjust the Clip Director,
release the lock by pulling it
away from the mower toward
the end of the lever, and then
move the lever to the desired
position. Release the lock and
allow it to snap into the groove.
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 chute.
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 lever
from side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the
sliding door.
Mulching
