Cutting Means; Engine Oil Level; Fuel - Honda HRX537VYEA Betriebsanleitung

Lawn
Check the length and condition of the grass, so that you will know
what cutting height and mowing speed to use.
Avoid mowing wet grass. Not only will wet grass clog your mower
deck and collect in clumps on the lawn, it also gives poor traction,
increasing your risk of losing your footing.
CHECK YOUR MOWER

Cutting Means

1. Move the throttle
lever to the STOP
position (page 4).
2. Move the fuel valve
to the OFF position
(page 4).
3. Disconnect the spark
plug cap from the
spark plug (page 13).
4. Tilt the mower to the
right so the fuel cap
is up. This will help
prevent fuel leakage,
motor oil seeping into the air filter, and hard starting.
5. Inspect the cutting means [1] for damage, cracks, and excessive
wear, rust, or corrosion.

WARNING
A worn, cracked, or damaged cutting means can
break, and pieces of the damaged cutting means can
become dangerous projectiles.
Blades thrown from the mower could seriously hurt or
kill someone.
Inspect the cutting means regularly, and do not operate
the mower with a worn or damaged cutting means.
A dull cutting means can be sharpened, but a cutting means that is
worn out, bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A
worn or damaged cutting means can break, causing cutting means
pieces to be thrown from the mower.
When a cutting means needs sharpening or replacement, take the
lawnmower to an authorized Honda dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install the cutting means yourself.
Check that the cutting means bolts [2] are tight (page 15).

Engine Oil Level

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on
a level surface.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API
service classification SJ or later. Always check the API service label
on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later.
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 indicated range.
NOTICE
• Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
• Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine's service life, and
using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
1. Remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick [1], and wipe the
dipstick clean.
2. Insert the dipstick into the filler
neck. Do not screw it down.
Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level.
3. If the oil level is near the low
level mark [3], add the
recommended oil to bring the
level up to the high limit mark
[2]. Do not overfill.
4. Install and tighten the filler
cap/dipstick [1] securely.

Fuel

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol with a research
octane rating of 91 or higher.
We recommend refueling after each use to minimize the air present in
the fuel tank.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool. Never refuel the mower
inside a building where petrol fumes may reach flames or sparks.
You may use regular unleaded petrol containing no more than 10%
ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In addition, methanol must
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Use of fuels with content
of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and
plastic parts of the fuel system. In addition, ethanol is hygroscopic,
which means it attracts and retains water in the fuel system. Engine
damage or performance problems that result from using a fuel with
percentages of ethanol or methanol greater than shown above are not
covered by warranty.
If your equipment will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
(more than 4 weeks before next use) please refer to the Fuel section
of the STORAGE chapter (page 16) for additional information
regarding fuel deterioration.
