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 0.35 to 0.40 litres is required). See “Oil Change” on
page 13
.
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.
”

Before Using Your Lawn Mower
All Mower operators must read the following sections:
•
FOR YOUR SAFETY
(page 2)
•
BEFORE EACH OPERATION
(page 4)
•
OPERATION
(page 7)
•
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
(page 11)
BEFORE EACH OPERATION
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Know your controls. Read the owner's manual carefully.
Familiarize yourself with the lawn mower and its operation before you
begin using it. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in any emergency.
Check Your Mower
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your lawn mower, it
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the lawn
mower to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you
find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the
lawn mower.
• Make sure the lawn mower is on a level surface
• Look around and underneath the lawn mower for signs of oil or
petrol leaks
• Look for signs of damage
• Check each control for proper operation
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that blades, blade
bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve the balance
(page 12). DAMAGED BLADES AND WORN BOLTS ARE MAJOR
HAZARDS.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and screws often; always be sure the mower
is in safe operating condition. Use only replacement parts made
and guaranteed by Honda.
• Check the air filter (page 13) and oil level (page 6)
• Check the fuel level (page 7). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
Check Your Mowing Area
For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area
before operating the lawn mower.
Anything that can be picked up by the blades and thrown is a potential
hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks, nails, and
wire, and remove them from the lawn area. Make sure the lawn is
clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris. They could be thrown
by the blades.
People and animals near the lawn area can move into your lawn
mower’s path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown
objects. Do not mow whilst people, especially children, or pets are in
the mowing area. Their safety is your responsibility.
Check the condition of the grass. Adjust your lawn mower ground
speed and mowing swath accordingly.
