CHECKING THE GRASS CATCHER
[2]
Before use, ensure that the grass catcher closing device is
correctly closed (discharge cover).
Even in normal use, the grass catcher tends to wear. Regularly
check that it is not frayed or torn. A worn out grass catcher
must be replaced. Replace a damaged grass catcher with
Honda Genuine parts.
Grass catcher removal:
1. Raise discharge
cover [7], grasp
handle [8] and
remove grass catcher
[9] while keeping it in
an upright position.
Grass catcher fitting:
1. Raise the discharge
cover and hook the
front of the grass
catcher on the
machine's attachment lugs [10].
NOTE:
• The machine operates like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air into the
grass catcher sucking up the grass cuttings. Empty the grass
catcher before it is full to help emptying and minimizing the
dropping of grass cuttings. Bagging performance will diminish
after the grass catcher becomes about 90% full.
• HRG466XB only: Mulching is a natural fertilisation technique. The
grass is no longer collected in the grass catcher, but is finely ground
and deposited on the lawn. The grass cuttings chopped up in this way
decompose in the sun and form a natural humus which can produce
a quarter of the annual fertilisation requirement of your lawn.
• In addition to its fertilising role, mulching protects the ground,
limits evaporation of water during hot periods and relieves you of
the task of collecting the grass.
PREPARATION OF THE BATTERY PACK
A charged battery pack must be installed to the machine to operate
the machine. Please refer to the
pack.
