Checking Engine Oil Level; Selecting The Cutting Mode - Honda HRX537C Bedienungsanleitung

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The mower is shipped WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
Add enough SAE 5W-30, 10W-30 API service category SJ or later oil to
bring the oil level between the upper limit [2] and lower limit [3] marks on
the dipstick [1] as shown.
Do not overfill the engine with oil. If the engine is overfilled, the excess
oil may get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air filter.
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 5W-30, 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.
Lubrication oil specifications necessary to maintain the performance of
the emissions control system: Honda genuine oil.
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.

SELECTING THE CUTTING MODE

The Clip Director knob [1] controls grass catching, mulching, and rear
discharge. The knob has ten adjustment positions.
Adjust the Clip Director knob [1] in any one of the ten positions to achieve
the desired mowing results.
To adjust the Clip Director knob, pull the knob downward and towards the
rear of the mower. The knob adjusts a sliding door [2] from the fully open
BAG position to the fully closed MULCH position (see the following page).

If a high resistance is noticed when moving the Clip Director knob from
side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the sliding door.
Some grass accumulation in the discharge chute is normal when the Clip
Director is fully closed. To remove this grass, close the discharge guard,
fully open the Clip Director, start the engine, and engage the
cutting-means control lever several times.
NOTICE
Always turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug cap before lifting the
discharge guard to view or clean around the sliding door. This will prevent
contact with the rotating cutting means and prevent objects from being
thrown into the discharge area.
Sliding Door Position
The sliding door [2] can be positioned to produce different mowing
100°F
results. If the preferred sliding door position is unknown, install a grass
catcher and begin mowing with the Clip Director knob [1] all the way to
the BAG position. Check the appearance of the lawn. As the knob is moved
towards the MULCH position, more grass will be recycled back into the
lawn. Adjust the Clip Director knob until the desired result is achieved.
