PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

ARE YOU READY TO MOW?
Be sure to wear protective clothing. Long pants and eye protection
can lower your risk of injury from thrown objects. Wear footwear that
protects your feet and won't let you slip if you mow on slopes or
uneven ground.
CHECK YOUR LAWN
For your safety and for the safety of others, always inspect the area
before mowing.
Objects
Anything that can be picked up by the cutting means and thrown is a
potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks,
bones, and wire. Remove them from the mowing area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the mowing area can move into your path or
into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear the
area of people, especially children, and pets. Their safety is your
responsibility.
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 5).
2. Move the fuel valve to the
OFF position (page 5).
3. Disconnect the spark plug cap
from the spark plug (page 14).
4. Tilt the mower to the right so
the fuel cap [1] is up. This will help prevent fuel leakage, motor oil
seeping into the air filter, and hard starting.
5. Inspect the cutting means [2]
for damage, cracks, and
excessive wear, rust, or
corrosion.

NORMAL
EXCESSIVELY
BENT CRACKED
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 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
[1]
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.
