Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Before first use, ensure you add the correct type and amount of high-quality unleaded petrol and the specified engine oil to the respective reservoirs. Refer to the engine manual for exact oil type and capacity. Attach the grass bag. Familiarize yourself with the throttle and self-propel controls.
Compatibility: This petrol mower is suitable for medium to large lawns. Ensure you have adequate storage space for a petrol-powered machine.
Care:
- After each use: Empty the grass bag and brush away any loose grass clippings from the deck and engine.
- Regular Cleaning: Utilize the hosepipe connection point to rinse the underside of the deck. Ensure the mower is turned off and angled correctly to prevent water from entering the engine.
- Engine Maintenance: Periodically check the oil level and top up as needed. Follow the Honda engine manual for scheduled maintenance such as air filter cleaning/replacement and spark plug checks/replacement.
- Storage: For long-term storage, particularly over winter, it is recommended to run the fuel tank dry or use a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel system issues.
