  • Page 7: Important Message To Parents

    YOUR CHILDREN’S SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT to Honda. That’s why we urge you to read this message before letting your child operate this lawn mower. Lawn mowers are tools, not toys. As with any equipment, bad judgments can result in serious injuries. You can help prevent accidents by making good decisions about if, when, and how your child operates this equipment.
  • Page 8: Safety Label Locations

    LAWN MOWER SAFETY SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact an authorized Honda servicing dealer for a replacement.

  • Page 13: Cutting Height Adjustment Levers

    Cutting Height Adjustment Levers Each wheel of the mower can be adjusted to one of seven settings. The cutting height figures are approximate. The actual height of cut grass will vary with lawn and soil conditions. Clip Director® Knob Bagging, mulching, and rear discharge are controlled by this knob.
  • Page 14: Before Operation

    Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them. Familiarize yourself with the lawn mower and its operation before you begin using it. Know how to quickly shut off the lawn mower in case of an emergency. IS YOUR LAWN MOWER READY TO GO?
  • Page 15: Check Your Work Area

    Check the General Condition of the Lawn Mower: • Look around and underneath the lawn mower for signs of oil or gasoline leaks. • Look for signs of damage. • Check each control for proper operation. • Check the blades for wear. Replace as necessary (page 36).
  • Page 16: Get The Mower Ready

    BEFORE OPERATION GET THE MOWER READY Handlebar Height Adjustment 1. Adjust handlebar height for a comfortable operating position. 2. Loosen the handlebar locking knobs. Spread the lower ends of the handlebar to release the locating pins. 3. Move the handlebar up or down, so the locating pins engage other holes on the handlebar mounting brackets.
  • Page 17 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION Always turn the engine off, remove the key (HRX217HMA only) and disconnect the spark plug cap (see page 42) 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.
  • Page 18 BEFORE OPERATION Sliding Door Position The sliding door 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 all the way to the BAG position.
  • Page 19 Rear Discharge To discharge clippings to the rear, remove the grass bag and position the clip director knob in the BAG range. Maximum rear discharge will occur when the clip director knob is all the way to the left (BAG) position. As the clip director knob is moved toward the right (MULCH) position, less grass will be discharged though the rear discharge guard.
  • Page 20 BEFORE OPERATION Grass Bag A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the bag, which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag before it becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging performance will diminish after the bag becomes about 90% filled.
  • Page 21 BEFORE OPERATION Cutting Height Move all four adjustment levers to the ADJUSTMENT LEVERS same position. To adjust cutting height, pull each ADJUSTMENT LEVER adjustment lever 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.
  • Page 22: Operation

    OPERATION MOWING PRECAUTIONS Before operating the mower for the first time, please review IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (page 4) and the previous chapter, BEFORE OPERATION (page 12). Even if you have operated other mowers, take time to become familiar with how this mower works and practice in a safe area until you build up your skills.
  • Page 23 3. Model HRX217HXA: Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently. Model HRX217HMA: Electric start Turn the key switch to the START position and hold it there until the engine starts.
  • Page 24 OPERATION Model HRX217HMA: Manual start Turn the engine switch ON. The engine switch must be in the ON position to start the engine with the recoil starter. Place your foot on the mower deck step. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly.
  • Page 25: Operating The Controls For Mowing

    OPERATION OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING Throttle Lever THROTTLE LEVER For best cut quality, always mow with the throttle lever in the FAST position. When the blades rotate at the preset fast speed, it creates a strong fan action that lifts and FAST cuts grass more efficiently.
  • Page 26 OPERATION Drive Clutch Lever BLADE CONTROL LEVER Push the drive clutch lever forward to propel the mower. Release the drive clutch lever to stop the mower’s forward movement. DRIVE CLUTCH LEVER You can control the self-propelled speed with the drive clutch lever. The mower will move gradually faster as you push the drive clutch lever forward.
  • Page 27 OPERATION Shift Lever SHIFT LEVER Use the shift lever to select SLOW 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.
  • Page 28: Stopping The Engine

    BLADE CONTROL LEVER 2. On the HRX217HXA model, move the throttle lever to STOP. On HRX217HMA model, turn the key switch to the OFF position. HRX217HXA MODEL 3. When the mower is not in use, turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
  • Page 29: Safe Mowing Practices

    SAFE MOWING PRACTICES For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful to avoid losing your footing and your control of the mower. Keep a firm grip on the handlebar, and walk, never run, with the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
  • Page 30 OPERATION Obstacles Use the side of the mower to cut close to large obstacles, such as fences or walls. Release the drive clutch lever to disengage the drive when mowing around trees and other obstacles. Push the mower around obstacles for better directional control.
  • Page 31: Mowing Tips

    OPERATION MOWING TIPS When to Mow Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown 1/2 to 1 inch above their recommended height. More frequent mowing is required for mulching than for bagging. For best results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during the growing season.
  • Page 32 OPERATION Blade Sharpness A sharp blade cuts cleanly. A dull blade tears the grass, leaving shredded ends that turn brown. When your blade doesn’t cut cleanly anymore, have it sharpened or replaced. Dry Grass If the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides being unpleasant to work in, too much dust will clog the air filter.
  • Page 33 OPERATION Mowing Patterns Your Honda mower will work most efficiently if you use the following mowing patterns as much as possible. Mower deck and equipment design, and the direction in which the blade rotates, cause these mowing patterns to give the best results. Mulching Use a counterclockwise mowing pattern when the clip director knob...

  • Page 57 Fuel Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your mower deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components, serviced or replaced.
  • Page 58 STORAGE Draining the Carburetor and Fuel Tank 1. Make sure the fuel valve is OFF (page 8). Remove the carburetor drain bolt with a 10 mm wrench, and drain the fuel from the carburetor bowl into an approved container. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
  • Page 59 Engine Cylinder Remove the spark plug (page 42). Pour a tablespoon (5 ~ 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt then return the starter grip gently.
  • Page 60: Placing In Storage

    STORAGE PLACING IN STORAGE If your mower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition.
