GRASS BAG
Inspection
During normal use, the grass bag material is subject to deterioration
and wear.
NOTICE
Frequently inspect the grass bag for tears, holes, and excessive wear.
Check for necessary replacement. Make sure the new bag meets the
original specification.
Cleaning
Wash the bag with a garden hose, and allow it to dry completely
before use; a wet bag will clog quickly.
Replacement
Replace a worn or damaged bag with a Honda replacement bag or its
equivalent (page 17).
Removal
1. Unclip the plastic edges of
the bag from the frame.
2. Remove the frame from
the bag.
Installation
1. Insert the frame into the
bag, as shown.
2. Clip the plastic edges of
the bag onto the frame, as
shown.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Level Check
1. Unscrew and remove the
filler cap/dipstick and
wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the
dipstick
without
screwing it into the
filler neck
. Check the oil
level shown on the
dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, add
oil to reach the upper
limit mark 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.
This type of damage is not covered by the

4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
Engine Oil
Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive
detergent oil.
Always change the oil in
accordance with the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
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 recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on
the oil container. Honda recommends API SERVICE category SJ or
later oil with the ILSAC “starburst” certification mark.
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Turn the fuel valve OFF. This will reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage.
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. Place a suitable
container next to the
mower to catch the
used oil, 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 station
for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
4. Fill with the recommended oil.
Do not overfill. Allow a couple
of minutes for the oil to settle
in the engine, then measure
the oil level as shown.
NOTICE
Using nondetergent oil can
shorten the engine’s service
life, and using 2-stroke oil can
damage the engine.
Air Cleaner Service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the mower in very dusty areas,
clean the air cleaner more often than specified in the
MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
NOTICE
Operating the engine without an air cleaner or with a damaged air
cleaner will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
