Pre-Operation Checks - Honda HRS536SDE Manuel De L'utilisateur

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVERS
There are six adjustment settings. The cutting height figures are
approximate. The actual height of cut grass will vary with lawn and
soil conditions.
There is one adjustment lever [1] for each wheel.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

ARE YOU READY TO MOW?
Be sure to wear protective clothing. Long pants and eye protection
can lower your risk of injury from thrown objects. Wear footwear that
protects your feet and won't let you slip if you mow on slopes or
uneven ground.
CHECK YOUR LAWN
For your safety and for the safety of others, always inspect the area
before mowing.
Objects
Anything that can be picked up by the blade and thrown is a potential
hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks, bones,
and wire. Remove them from the mowing area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the mowing area can move into your path or
into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear the
area of people, especially children, and pets. Their safety is your
responsibility.

Lawn
Check the length and condition of the grass, so that you will know
what cutting height and mowing speed to use.
Avoid mowing wet grass. Not only will wet grass clog your mower
deck and collect in clumps on the lawn, it also gives poor traction,
increasing your risk of losing your footing.
CHECK YOUR MOWER
Blade
1. Move the fuel valve to the
OFF position (page 4).
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap
from the spark plug (page 12).
3. Tilt the mower to the right so
the fuel cap is up [1]. This will
help prevent fuel leakage,
motor oil seeping into the air
filter, and hard starting.
4. Inspect the blade [2] for
damage, cracks, and
excessive wear, rust, or
corrosion.
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break, and pieces
of the damaged blade can become dangerous projectiles.
Thrown objects can cause serious injury.
Inspect the blades regularly, and do not operate the mower
with a worn or damaged blade.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent,
cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or
damaged blade can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from
the mower.
NORMAL WORN
When a blade needs sharpening or replacement, take the lawn
mower to an authorized Honda dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install the blade yourself.
Check that the blade bolts [2] are tight (page 13).
