To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil or

petrol. The engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and

petrol before starting the engine.

Always use high quality detergent oil classified SAE 10W 30 Oil.

Never use additives with this oil.

To prolong the life of your engine it is important that the oil is changed

after the first 5 hours of use - refer to ‘Maintenance Schedule’.

Clean around the oil filler cap before removing. With the mower on a

level surface, unscrew and remove the oil filler - dipstick. Wipe oil

from it with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick back in the oil filler neck

but do not screw it in. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.

The oil level is correct when it is at the full mark on the dipstick.

DO NOT OVERFILL.

Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities

that can be used within 30 days. Never mix oil with petrol. For added

engine protection Honda recommend the use of their fuel additive

which is available from an authorised Honda service dealer.

Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the

fuel tank.

To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direc-

tion required.

To make a tight turn (release the ground drive clutch lever, Autodrive

model), apply downward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front

wheels just above ground level and steer in the required direction.

To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower exces-

sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower

when the engine is running.

Release the engine stop lever and ground drive clutch lever on auto drive

models and push the throttle control lever to the ‘slow’ position.

Emergency stop - If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark

plug lead.

To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater

than 20 degrees.

Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking

notch, then push forwards to raise or pull backwards to lower the height

of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks

firmly into one of the eight notch settings.

Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent

engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass

conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.

OPERATING THE MOWER

To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all

objects which when contacted by the cutterblade could become

dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions

which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and

safety. Remember the location of these obstructions and ensure

that you mow around them.

Lift the grassbag through the handlebar and close the rear deflector to

rest against the rear of the mower.

To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and shake the

grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass collection

depends on good air flow through the grassbag. When collecting grass

clippings it is important that the grassbag is emptied regularly to pre-

vent blockages and engine overloading.

Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in

the closed position.

To prevent engine overloading and blockages be prepared to make two

cuts in areas of heavy growth. If collection is required, first mow the

area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted.

Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the

required finish is obtained.

To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of grass

height in one cut.

There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away

leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.

Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil

organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.

The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as

the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first

cut should merely “top” the grass as close cutting at this stage could

result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally suffi-

cient this month.

Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of

coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.

Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selec-

tive weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not

feed the lawn in April.

Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to

mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this

month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control.

Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.

Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed

killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a gen-

eral rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If

weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the

clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.

Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks

caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weath-

er conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture.

Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the

roots from the winter frost and snow.

Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in

drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.

Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf

free from leaves.

Apart from brushing away leaves, December is a slack end of a busy

year. Keep off the lawn if it is very wet or frozen.

To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of the

grass height in one cut.

occurs first. A spark plug wrench is available from any authorised

Honda service dealer.

Check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge and set at 0.7 - 0.8mm.

Remove all grass and debris from the engine including the

exhaust/exhaust guard, the air ways in the top cowl and the surround-

ing deck areas on a daily basis after use. Never spray the engine with

water during cleaning. Water can contaminate the fuel. Always clean

with a brush or compressed air.

Grass and debris may clog the engine’s air cooling system especially

after prolonged operation while cutting tall, dry grass. The internal cool-

ing fins and surfaces may require cleaning to prevent overheating and

engine damage. We recommend that this service be carried out by an

authorised Honda dealer.

Remove grass debris from the grassbag immediately after use and

check its condition for signs of damage.

To prevent accidents replace a damaged grassbag immediately.

Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck housing

immediately after use.

Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive.

Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after use on treat-

ed grass and store well away from corrosive materials.

Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace

missing or damaged items immediately.

Autodrive Models - Check the clutch cable operation every 25 oper-

ating hours and adjust if necessary. The clutch cable is adjusted cor-

rectly when the belt drive just engages with the clutch lever positioned

32-38mm from the handlebar.

Unscrew the locknuts and screw the adjuster in or out as necessary.

Tighten the locknuts when correctly.

Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil every 25

operating hours.

Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables at the

point of entry and exit from their outer casing.

Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the

engine stops. Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to

cool. Turn the mower on its right hand side and ensure that the air

cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.

Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with the gloved hand and remove

the bolt securing the cutterblade.

To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless the

spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade has sharp

edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect your hands when

working on the cutterblade. DO NOT rotate tools towards the cut-

ting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS

use genuine Hayter replacement parts.

The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should

be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cut-

terblade is not bent or cracked.

A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate excessively

and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterblade.

Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened to the

specified torque of 54Nm.

Replace the cutterblade every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or

damaged.

To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower

on its side.

432028 (0) 13/1/05 11:22 am Page 1.25

Assemble the cutterblade (1) with the turned up edges facing towards

the engine. Secure the cutterblade using the friction washer (2) and new

fixing bolt (3) and tighten to a torque of 54Nm.

To prevent accidents never reuse the original fixing bolt.

A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges

must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade

every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require.

Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and

water. Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage.

Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance.

Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw driver with a

round shaft to support the cutterblade through its centre hole. Hold the

cutterblade horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterblade will

remain horizontal.

If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards.

Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterblade is correctly balanced.

Storage

To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficient-

ly to allow it to pivot forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to

ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point

and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through

contact with the engine.

Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Honda fuel

additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in the fuel sys-

tem or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower is main-

tained in good working order it is important that the following procedure

is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.

Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops and

drain fuel from carburettor using drain plug (1) located on carburettor

bowl.

Disconnect the spark plug lead.

Change the engine oil.

Pull the starter rope gently until resistance is felt. This will close the

valves and prevent corrosion and ingress of dirt.

Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling

fins, under top cowl, and around and behind exhaust/exhaust guard.

Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.

Lubricate the mower.

Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.

Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilat-

ed area.
