Mowing Procedure - Honda HRX426CQXEA Betriebsanleitung

MOWING PROCEDURE

Read the safety instructions before starting to mow.
SAFETY
1. Place the mower in an obstacle-free area.
2. The blade brake lever [1]
must be held firmly against the
handle for starting the engine.
All models:
3. Start the engine, allow it to reach
its maximum temperature and
rotation speed.
4. Engage the blade:
press the yellow button [2]
located on the top of the blade
control lever [3], and at the
same time push it quickly and
hold it against the handle.
NOTE: For self-propelled models and Rotostop models, it is
possible to refrain from using the forward drive while mowing in
areas with a narrow surface.
Likewise, the drive clutch can be used to move the mower without
engaging the blade clutch (lanes, borders, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Move the blade control lever quickly from one end of its travel to
the other, so that the blade is always either fully engaged or fully
disengaged. This is to avoid stalling the engine and increases the
service life of the blade control mechanism.
Always release the blade clutch lever [3] and the drive clutch
lever [4] before starting the engine. Starting is more difficult
when the blade is engaged. If the clutch is engaged, the mower
will move when the engine is started.
Except PDEA, PXEA, RXEA:
5. Engage mower forward drive when the engine has built up
speed: to start the mower moving, push the drive clutch lever [3]
forward and hold it against handle.
NOTE:
• Move the drive clutch lever [4]
quickly and completely so that
the drive clutch is always fully
engaged or fully disengaged.
This avoids stalling the engine
and increases the service life
ofthe clutch mechanism.
6. To stop the mower moving
release the clutch lever [4].
7. To stop the blade rotating:
• release the blade clutch lever [3].

NOTE:
• Mowing frequency: once a week for a lawn intended for leisure
purposes, twice a week for an ornamental lawn.
• If possible, mow the lawn in the afternoon or evening before
sprinkling, as the grass must be dry. If dust levels are too high,
mow the lawn when the grass is dry, but the ground is still damp.
• Choose a cutting height adapted to the terrain (see page 5).
• For a regular cut, you should overlap the part that has already
been cut by a few centimetres [5],
and increase this overlap zone if the cutting height is high.
• To achieve maximum efficiency, follow the suggested path.
• If your terrain does not have a regular shape or involves several
obstacles, divide it into internal parcels which you can mow in the
recommended direction.
[4]
[6] With collection:
turn in a clockwise
[3]
direction to achieve
the maximum
efficiency.
[5]
[6] [7] With the mulching
kit (optional, see
page 14): turn in an
anti-clockwise
direction.
