Operating The Controls For Mowing - Honda HRX537HYEA Manuel De L'utilisateur

HZEA electric start type:
Turn the starter key switch to the

START ( ) position. Let the key
I
return to the ON ( ) position when
the engine starts.
The starter should not be cranked
for more than 5 seconds at a time. If
the engine fails to start, release the
switch and wait 10 seconds before
operating the starter again.
If the battery does not have
sufficient charge to start the engine, possibly due to a long storage
period, use the recoil starter to start the engine for at least one
mowing session. The battery should have sufficient charge after
one mowing session (approximately 1 hr).
HZEA manual start:
Turn the starter key switch ON.
The engine switch must be in the

ON ( ) position to start the engine
with the recoil starter.
Move the throttle lever to the FAST

( ) position.
Place your foot on the mower deck
step. Pull the starter grip lightly
until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly. Return the starter grip gently.
4. Put the throttle lever [1] in the

FAST ( ) position to mow or

to the SLOW ( ) position to
idle.
To ensure easy restarting and
maximum performance from
the Auto Choke System™,
allow the engine to run for at
least three minutes after
starting a cold engine before
shutting down. The minimum
run time will need to be longer if the temperature is below 21°C.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too
rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A
very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications
to the carburetor. If you always operate your mower at altitudes above
1,500 meters, have a Honda dealer perform this carburetor
modification.
Even with carburetor modification, engine power will decrease about
3.5% for each 300 meter increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on
power will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
NOTICE
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,
the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at
altitudes below 1,500 meters with a modified carburetor may cause
the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use
at low altitudes, have your authorized Honda dealer return the
carburetor to original factory specifications.

OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING

Throttle Lever
For best cut quality, always mow with
the throttle lever [1] in the FAST (
position. When the blades rotate at the
preset fast speed, it creates a strong
fan action that lifts and cuts grass more
efficiently.
Do not try to increase the preset engine
speed; the blade could fracture and
come apart.
Blade Control Lever
To start blade rotation, press the
yellow button [1] on top of the
blade control lever [2], then
push the lever forward and hold
it against the handlebar.
Release the blade control lever
[2] to stop the blade.
Operate the blade control lever
with a quick and complete
motion, so the blade control is
always either fully engaged or
disengaged. This will help to
prevent stalling the engine, and it will help prevent damage to the
blade control mechanism.
Drive Clutch Lever
Push the drive clutch lever [1] forward to propel the mower forward.
For self-propelled mowing,
press the yellow button [2]
on top of the blade control
lever [3], push the blade
control lever forward to the
handlebar, and then push
the drive clutch lever [1]
forward.
Release the drive clutch
lever [1] to stop the
mower's forward movement.
You can control mower speed with the drive clutch lever [1]. The
mower will move gradually faster as you push the lever forward. If you
push the lever all the way up to the handlebar, the mower will move at
the speed determined by the shift lever setting.
Shift Lever
Use the shift lever to select the
forward speed at which you wish to
mow.
Do not use the throttle lever to
adjust your forward speed. The
throttle lever must remain in the
fast position for good mowing
performance. Otherwise, cut quality
suffers.
Use the lower speed range for
mulching and bagging, the higher
speed range for transporting.
With the shift lever all the way back and the drive clutch lever
engaged, the mower will move slowly or not at all.
