INITIAL MOWER SETUP

Adjust the Handlebar

1. With the handlebar adjust knobs in the unlocked position, raise the
handlebar into the mowing position.
BLADE CONTROL LEVER
2. Depress the blade control lever while raising the handlebar.
3. Turn the handlebar adjust knobs 90 degrees into the lock position
allowing the pins to spring into the holes and lock into position.

Add Engine Oil

The mower is shipped WITHOUT
OIL in the engine. Remove the
oil filler cap/dipstick and add the
entire contents of the included
bottle of oil into the oil filler
opening.
All Honda engines are run at the
factory prior to packaging. Most
of the oil is removed prior to
shipment; however, some oil
remains in the engine. The
amount of oil left in the engine
varies.
If you don't use the supplied oil, add enough SAE 10W-30 API service
category SJ or later oil to bring the oil level between the upper and
lower limit marks on the dipstick—without screwing the dipstick in
(approximately 12 to 13.5 ounces is required). See
Do not overfill the engine with oil. If the engine is overfilled, the
(P. 4)
excess oil may get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air filter.
An indication of overfilling is white or blue smoke coming from the
muffler when the engine is running.
After filling the engine with oil, screw the filler/cap dipstick in and
remove the hang tag near the recoil starter grip that says "The engine
has no oil."
