WELCOME

Congratulations on your selection of a Honda lawn mower! We are 
certain you will be pleased with your purchase of one of the finest 
lawn mowers on the market. We want to help you get the best results 
from your new mower and to operate it safely. This manual contains 
information on how to do that; please read it carefully.

When your mower needs scheduled maintenance, keep in mind that 
Honda Power Equipment servicing dealership personnel are specially 
trained in servicing Honda lawn mowers and are supported by the 
parts and service divisions of Australia Honda.

Please read the 

LIMITED WARRANTY

 on

 to fully understand 

what is covered by warranty and your responsibilities of ownership.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have 
provided important safety messages in this manual and on the mower. 
This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or 
others. Please read these messages carefully.

Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the 
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a lawn mower. You 
must use your own good judgment.

instructions and warnings provided.

Honda strongly recommends that all young, inexperienced or first time
users receive initial training and supervision from a competent adult,
in accordance with these instructions.

Safety Label Locations

These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious 
injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to 
read, contact an authorised Honda servicing dealer for a replacement.
