Mowing And Grass Catching Problems; Storage - Honda HRX537C Bedienungsanleitung

MOWING AND GRASS CATCHING PROBLEMS

Possible Cause
Engine speed is too slow to cut well
(HYEA, HZEA, VYEA types)
Lawnmower is moving too fast for
lawn conditions
Cutting height adjustment levers
set at different positions
Grass catcher overfilled or clogged
Cutting-means enclosure is
clogged
Cutting means dull, worn, or
damaged
Wrong cutting means installed

STORAGE

Proper storage is essential for keeping your
lawnmower troublefree and looking good. The
following steps will help protect the mower from rust
and corrosion, and make the engine easier to start when you use the
lawnmower again.
Cleaning
Clean the lawnmower, including the underside of the cutting-means
enclosure.
Engine
Clean the engine by hand, using a rag and a brush.
NOTICE
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the
air cleaner. Water in the air cleaner will soak the filters and can enter the
carburetor or engine cylinder, causing damage.
Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage. If the engine has been
running, allow it to cool for at least a half hour before cleaning.
Cutting-means Enclosure
To assure a longer lifetime and more efficient operation, the underside of
the lawnmower must be kept clean and free of grass debris by cleaning
with a brush and scraper. After use the lawnmower must be cleaned
thoroughly before being stored.
Before cleaning the underside of the cutting-means enclosure, be sure the
throttle lever is in the STOP position and the fuel valve is in the OFF
position. Tilt the lawnmower to the right so the fuel cap is up. This will help
to prevent fuel leakage and hard starting due to carburetor flooding. Wear
heavy gloves to protect your hands from the cutting means.
Grass Catcher
Remove the catcher from the mower, and wash it with a garden hose or
pressure washing equipment. Allow the catcher to dry completely before
storage.
After the lawnmower is clean and dry, touch up any damaged paint, and
coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
Correction
Move the throttle lever to the FAST
position (page 11).
HYEA, HZEA, VYEA types
Shift to a slower speed (page 11).
VKEA type
Move the Select Drive more toward MIN
(page 11), engage the Select Drive lever
less, or push slower.
Set all levers at the same cutting height
position (page 7).
Empty the grass catcher. Wash the grass
catcher if it is clogged with dirt (page 17).
Clean out the cutting-means enclosure
(page 12).
Sharpen or replace the cutting means if
necessary (page 16).
Install correct cutting means (page 16).
SAFETY
Fuel
NOTICE
Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel
formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and
oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the
carburetor and/or fuel system. Please check with your servicing dealer for local
storage recommendations.
Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old petrol will cause hard
starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the petrol
in your mower deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the
carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
The length of time that petrol can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor
without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as blend,
your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or
completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel
deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel
deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months,
or even less if the petrol was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.
Short Term Storage (30-90 days)
If your equipment will not be used for 30 to 90 days, we recommend the
following to prevent fuel-related problems:
1. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
B3 D2
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh petrol. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during
D3 D4
storage. If you keep a container of petrol for refueling, be sure that it
contains only fresh petrol.
If it will take more than 3 months to use the fuel in your storage
container, we suggest adding a fuel stabilizer to the fuel when you fill
the container.
2. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to
be sure that treated petrol has replaced the untreated petrol in the
carburetor.
3. Stop the engine and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
4. Start the engine and continue to run the engine until it stops from the
lack of fuel in the carburetor fuel bowl. Running time should be less
than 3 minutes.
Note:
– All stabilizers have a shelf life and their performance will deteriorate
over time.
– Fuel stabilizers will not reconstitute stale fuel.
Long Term or Seasonal Storage (greater than 90 days)
Start the engine and allow it to run long enough to empty all the petrol
from the entire fuel system (including the fuel tank). Do not allow petrol to
remain in your engine for more than 90 days of inactivity.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from
neglected storage preparation are not covered under the Warranty.
Engine Oil
Change the engine oil (page 14).
Engine Cylinder
If the mower is to be stored for
more than 3 months, remove the
spark plug (page 14). Pour 5 ~ 10
cm³ of clean engine oil into the
cylinder [1]. Pull the starter rope
several times to distribute the oil
in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark
plug.
Pull the starter rope slowly until
resistance is felt, then return the
starter grip gently. This will close
the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder.
