MOWING TIPS

When to Mow

Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown 12 ~ 25 mm

above their recommended height.

More frequent mowing is required for mulching than for bagging. For

best results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during the

growing season.

Cutting Height

Consult a local nursery or lawn and

garden center for cutting height

recommendations and advice about

specific types of grasses and growing

conditions in your area.

If you look closely, you'll see that most

grass has stems and leaves. If you cut off

the leaves, you'll scalp the lawn. Let the

grass recover between mowings. Your

mower will work better, and your lawn will

look better.

If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height

setting, and then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don't take off more than

one third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches

may develop.

Cutting height adjustment levers are explained in the CONTROLS

chapter (page 4).

Cutting Width

For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by a few

centimeters. If the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a

narrower mowing swath.

Blade Speed

The blades must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the fast

throttle setting, and keep the engine running at maximum speed.

If engine speed drops, it could mean the engine is being overloaded

by the blades trying to cut too much grass. Mow a narrower swath,

move the mower slower, or raise the cutting height.

Blade Sharpness

A sharp blade cuts cleanly. A dull blade tears the grass, leaving

shredded ends that turn brown. When your blade doesn't cut cleanly

anymore, have it sharpened or replaced.

Dry Grass

If the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides being

unpleasant to work in, too much dust will clog the carburetor air filter.

If dust is a problem, water your lawn the day before mowing. Mow

when the grass is dry to your touch, but the soil is still moist.

Wet Grass

Wet grass is slippery and can make you lose your footing. Also, wet

grass clippings will clog the mower deck and collect in clumps on the

lawn. Always wait for wet grass to dry before mowing.

Fallen Leaves

Your mower can be used to pick up fallen leaves for disposal. If using

the mower to bag large amounts of fallen leaves, and not for mowing,

set the cutting height adjustment levers so the front of the mower

deck is one or two settings higher than the rear. To start, position the

Clip Director knob in the #9 position (not quite full mulching). This

setting will allow the leaves to be recirculated and recut until the

particles are small enough to pass though the sliding door opening

and into the grass bag.

Depending on the size, type, and water content of the leaves, it may

be necessary to open the sliding door to allow for best bagging

results. Using the sliding door correctly will allow better grass bag

filling, resulting in less grass bag emptying. Be sure there are no

obstacles, including rocks, hidden under the leaves.

If you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don't let the leaf

cover get too deep before you begin. For best results, start mulching

while grass still shows through the leaf cover. Position the Clip

Director knob in the MULCH position. In places where fallen leaves

completely cover the grass, remove the leaves by raking, or use the

grass bag so your mower can pick them up for disposal.

Clogged Mower Deck

Before clearing a clogged mower deck, stop the engine and turn the

fuel valve to the OFF position. With the spark plug cap disconnected,

tilt the mower so the air cleaner side is up.

Clear a clogged deck with a stick, not your hands.

Mowing Patterns

Your Honda mower will work most efficiently if you use the following

mowing patterns as much as possible. Mower deck and equipment

design, and the direction in which the blades rotate, cause these

mowing patterns to give the best results.

Mulching

Use a counterclockwise mowing

pattern when the Clip Director

knob is in the full MULCH

position. If the lawn has an

irregular shape, or many

obstacles, divide it into sections

where you can use

counterclockwise mowing

patterns.

Bagging

Use a clockwise mowing pattern.

This will give the best Clip

Director and bagging

performance, leaving the least

amount of clippings on the lawn.

Rear Discharge Mowing

Remove the grass bag and close the discharge guard. Adjust the Clip

Director knob to the desired setting and begin mowing in a clockwise

mowing pattern. If the lawn has an irregular shape, or many

obstacles, divide it into sections.
