Mowing Procedure - Honda HRX476C Bedienungsanleitung

MOWING PROCEDURE

Read the safety instructions before starting to mow.
SAFETY
HYEH type:
Always release the cutting-means control lever and the drive
clutch lever before starting the engine. Starting is more difficult
when the cutting means is engaged. If drive clutch is engaged,
the lawnmower will move when the engine is started.
1. Select the suitable forward
speed with the shift lever [1].
2. Engage the cutting means:
- Press the yellow button [2]
located on the top of the
cutting-means control lever
[3], and at the same time push
it quickly and hold it against
the handle.
3. Engage lawnmower forward
drive when the motor has picked
up speed:
- The drive clutch lever [4] acts
as a variable speed control
according to its squeezed
position. It makes the speed
vary between zero and the
maximal speed preset with the
shift lever. The maximum
speed can be reached when
both levers [3] and [4] are
pushed forward completely.
The greater the height of the
grass to be cut, the more it is
necessary to reduce the drive
speed of the machine. This
will prevent overloading the
engine and improve the
quality of the cut.
4. To stop the lawnmower moving forward:
- Release the drive clutch lever [4].
5. To stop the cutting means rotating:
- Release the cutting-means control lever [3].
NOTE: It is possible to refrain from using the forward drive while
mowing in areas with a narrow surface (lanes, borders, etc.).
The drive clutch can be used to move the lawnmower without
engaging the cutting-means control.
CAUTION:
• Move the cutting-means control lever quickly from one end of its
travel to the other, so that the cutting means is always either fully
engaged or fully disengaged. This is to avoid stalling the engine
and increases the service life of the cutting-means control
mechanism.

VKEH type:
1. With the engine running and
the cutting means rotating,
slowly push the Select Drive
control [5] to propel the mower
forward.
2. Normal operation is with your
hand comfortably around the
handle bar [6] and Select Drive
control [5] with the Select Drive
control being flush with the
handle bar [6].
3. Should the mower not move
forward, additional power may
be required which can be
achieved by adjusting the
Select Drive control knob [7] in
the "+" direction.
4. Once you have achieved your
preferred mowing speed by
pushing down the Select Drive
control [5] in combination with
the appropriate Select Drive
control knob [7] setting, you
can commence mowing at your
preferred constant speed.
5. Push the Select Drive control
[5] with your thumbs into the
indentation for boost operation
when additional power is
required to maintain your
desired mowing speed (for
example, when encountering a
slope or other change in
ground conditions).
Once the terrain or ground
conditions return to normal,
you simply release the boost.
NOTE: The Select Drive control knob [7] allows you to adjust the
level of power used to propel the mower. The adjustment range is
from "-" to "+" power. The level of power required to achieve a
preferred ground speed is dependent upon the combination of
terrain conditions, grass conditions and your preferred mowing
speed.
6. To stop the lawnmower moving forward:
- Release the Select Drive control [5].
7. To stop the cutting means rotating:
- Release the cutting-means brake lever [8].
NOTE: Releasing the cutting-means brake lever stops the cutting
means rotating and stops the engine.
