OPERATION

MOWING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (page 2) and PRE-OPERATION CHECKS (page 6).
Even if you have operated other mowers, take the time to become
familiar with how this mower works, and practice in a safe area until
you build up your skills.
For your safety, do not start or operate the engine in an enclosed area
such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause
illness or death.
FREQUENCY OF USE
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 17) for additional information
regarding fuel deterioration.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Turn the fuel valve [1] to the ON position.
2. Move the throttle lever [2] to the
fast () position.
3. Pull the starter grip lightly until
you feel resistance, then pull
briskly. Return the starter grip
gently.
To keep the cutting means from
turning and to prevent the
mower from moving forward,
always release the cutting
means control lever and Select
Drive control when you pull the starter.
4. Put the throttle lever in the FAST (

SLOW ( ) position to idle.
To ensure easy restarting and maximum performance from the
Auto Choke System, start mowing as soon as the engine starts
and allow the engine to run for at least three minutes before

stopping the engine.

High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too
rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A
very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications
to the carburetor. If you always operate your mower at altitudes above
1,500 meters, have a Honda dealer perform this carburetor
modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine power will decrease about
3.5% for each 300 meter increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on
power will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
NOTICE
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,
the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at
altitudes below 1,500 meters with a modified carburetor may cause
the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use
at low altitudes, have your authorized Honda dealer return the
carburetor to original factory specifications.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the cutting
means control lever [1]
to stop the cutting
means rotation.
2. Move the throttle lever

[2] to the STOP ( )
position to stop the
engine.
3. When the mower is not in use, turn
the fuel valve [3] to the OFF position.
4. If your equipment will not be used for
3 to 4 weeks, we recommend
running the engine's carburetor out
of fuel. You can do this by leaving the
fuel valve OFF, restarting the engine
and running it out of fuel. See
"Storage" on page 17 for periods of
inactivity that exceed 4 weeks.
