Cutting Height
Check the mower deck cutting
height settings, and be sure that
all four adjustment levers [1] are
set to the same cutting height
position.
To adjust cutting height, pull
each adjustment lever [1] toward
the wheel, and move it into another
notch.
If you are not sure what cutting
height to select, start with a high
setting and check the appearance
of the lawn after mowing a small
area. Then readjust cutting height if necessary.
Rear Shield
During normal use the rear shield is subject to deterioration and wear.
Remove the grass bag and raise the discharge guard to check the
rear shield for cracks or tears. If the rear shield is excessively worn,
have it replaced by your authorized Honda servicing dealer.
Clip Direction
Clip Director Knob Adjustment
Adjust the Clip Director knob [1] in any one of the ten positions to
achieve the desired mowing results.
To adjust the Clip Director knob, pull the knob downward and towards
the rear of the mower. The knob adjusts a sliding door [2] from the
fully open BAG position to the fully closed MULCH position (see the
following page).
[1]
If a high resistance is noticed when moving the Clip Director knob
from side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the
sliding door.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION
Always turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug cap before
lifting the discharge guard to view or clean around the sliding door.
This will prevent contact with the rotating blades and prevent objects
from being thrown into the discharge area.
Sliding Door Position
The sliding door [2] can be positioned to produce different mowing
results. If the preferred sliding door position is unknown, install a
grass bag and begin mowing with the Clip Director knob [1] all the
way to the BAG position. Check the appearance of the lawn. As the
knob is moved towards the MULCH position, more grass will be
recycled back into the lawn. Adjust the Clip Director knob until the
desired result is achieved.
