Shift Lever; Hr215Sxa; Hr215Hma & Hr215Hxa - Honda HR215KHMA Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Shift Lever
Use the shift lever to select the forward speed at which you wish to
mow.
Do not use the throttle lever to adjust your forward speed. The throttle
lever must remain in the FAST position for good mowing
performance. Otherwise, cut quality suffers.
HR215SXA
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.
To avoid incomplete gear
engagement, be sure the shift
lever is centered in one of the
three detent positions.
HR215HMA & HR215HXA
Use the lower speed range for
mulching or bagging and the
higher speed range for
transporting.
If you wish to momentarily slow
the mower during operation,
partially release the drive clutch
lever, then resume your normal
speed by pushing the drive clutch
lever forward again. It is not
necessary to move the shift lever
for momentary speed reduction.
