Unpacking And Assembly - Honda HF1211 Operator's Manual

IDENTIFICATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
Various main components can be seen on the machine, and these
have the following functions:
11. Cutting deck: this is the guard enclosing the rotating blade.
12. Blade: this is what cuts the grass. The wings at the ends help
convey the cut grass towards the collector channel.
13. Collector channel: this is the part connecting the cutting deck
to the grass-catcher.
14. Grass-catcher: as well as collecting the grass cuttings, this is
also a safety element in that it stops any objects drawn up by
the blade from being thrown outside of the machine.
15. Stone-guard or deflector: this can be fitted in place of the
grass-catcher and prevents objects drawn up by the blade from
being thrown outside of the machine.
16. Engine: this moves the blade and drives the wheels. It is fully
described in a specific booklet.
17. Battery: provides the energy for starting the engine. It is fully
described in a specific booklet.
18. Driver seat: this is where the machine operator sits. It has a
sensor for detecting the presence of the operator which is a
safety device.
19. Decals for regulations and safety: give reminders on the
main provisions for working safely, each of which is explained
in chapter 1.
20. Access hatch: gives easy access to the spark plug and the fix-
ing nut for the engine cover.
21. Air intake grill: helps air to flow inside the cutting deck and pre-
vents objects from being thrown out at the front.

space for machine handling and its packaging, always mak-
