Transporting - Honda HRS536SDE Owner's Manual

Fallen Leaves
If you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don't let the leaf
cover get too deep before you begin. For best results, start mulching
while grass still shows through the leaf cover. In places where fallen
leaves completely cover the grass, remove the leaves by raking.
Clogged Mower Deck
Before clearing a clogged mower deck, stop the engine and turn the
fuel valve to the OFF position. With the spark plug cap disconnected,
tilt the mower so the air cleaner side is up.
Clear a clogged deck with a stick, not your hands.
Mowing Patterns
Your Honda mower will work most efficiently if you use the following
mowing pattern as much as possible. Mower deck and equipment
design and the direction in which the blade rotates causes this
mowing pattern to give the best results.
Mulching
Use a counterclockwise mowing
pattern. If the lawn has an irregular
shape, or many obstacles, divide it
into sections where you can use
counterclockwise mowing patterns.
Side Discharge Mowing
Where possible, use the same
mowing pattern recommended for
mulching. If the lawn has an irregular
shape or many obstacles, divide it
into sections where clippings will be
discharged away from uncut areas.
This will prevent clippings from piling
up in the path of the mower.

TRANSPORTING

BEFORE LOADING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the mower on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and
exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF [1] position. This will prevent carburetor
flooding and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
HANDLEBAR FOLDING
1. Loosen the lower
handlebar locking
knobs [1].
2. Spread the lower ends of
the handlebar struts [2]
to release the locating
pins. Fold handlebar
over mower.
When folding the
handlebar, be careful to
avoid kinking or pinching
the control cables.
LOADING AND UNLOADING
Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport
vehicle. Tie the mower down with rope or straps, and block the
wheels. Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from the controls,
adjustment levers, cables, and the carburetor.
NOTICE
To prevent losing control of or damaging the mower, do not use the
drive system when going up or down a loading ramp.
To prevent damaging the drive system, do not engage the clutch
when the mower is rolling backwards.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
2. Use a suitable loading ramp. Adjust the loading ramp so that it is
inclined at an angle of less than 15°. If a loading ramp is not
available, two people should lift the mower on and off the transport
vehicle while keeping the mower level.
