Shift Lever (Hrj216 Model) - Honda HRJ216K2 Manual

Shift Lever (HRJ216 Model)

With the drive clutch released, move the shift lever to select 1st (slow),
2nd (medium) or 3rd (fast).
Do not use the throttle lever to adjust your forward speed. Forward
speed should be adjusted with the shift lever, not the throttle lever.
The throttle lever must remain in the ''HIGH'' position for good
mowing performance. Otherwise, cut quality suffers.
SHIFT LEVER
You can shift gears without releasing the drive clutch lever, but the
transmission may not shift smoothly if the mower is pulling hard. For
smoother operation, release the drive clutch lever before shifting
gears.
For maximum mowing performance, use 1st and 2nd gears for
mowing and 3rd gear for transporting.
To avoid incomplete gear engagement, be sure the shift lever is
centered in one of the three detent positions.
