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 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..
Bagging
Use a clockwise mowing
pattern. This will give the best
clip director and bagging
performance, leaving the least
amount of clippings on the lawn
.
Rear Discharge Mowing
Remove the grass bag and close
the discharge guard. Adjust the clip
director knob to the desired setting
and begin mowing in a clockwise
mowing pattern. If the lawn has an
irregular shape, or many obstacles,
divide it into sections.
