PARTS AND CONTROLS

INITIAL MOWER SETUP

Adjust the Handlebar

1. Loosen the two locking knobs on the lower handlebar enough to

raise the handlebar into the mowing position.

2. Depress the blade control lever while raising the handlebar.

3. Tighten the locking knobs securely.

Add Engine Oil

The mower is shipped 

WITHOUT

OIL

 in the engine. Remove the

oil filler cap/dipstick and add the
entire contents of the included
bottle of oil into the oil filler
opening.

All Honda engines are run at the
factory prior to packaging. Most
of the oil is removed prior to
shipment; however, some oil
remains in the engine. The
amount of oil left in the engine
varies.

If you don’t use the supplied oil, add enough SAE 10W-30 API service
category SJ or later oil to bring the oil level between the upper and
lower limit marks on the dipstick—without screwing the dipstick in
(approximately 12 to 13.5 ounces is required). See 

page 10

.

Do not overfill the engine with oil

. If the engine is overfilled, the

excess oil may get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air filter.
An indication of overfilling is white or blue smoke coming from the
muffler when the engine is running.

After filling the engine with oil, screw the filler/cap dipstick in and
remove the hang tag near the recoil starter grip that says “

The engine

has no oil.
