Summary Of The Main Operations To Be Carried Out; In Various Condition; Maintenance; Safety Recommendations - Honda HF2315 Original Instruction

8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cut-
ting in both directions.
9. If the collector system tends to get blocked with grass, you
should reduce the forward speed since this may be too high for
the condition of the grass. If the problem persists, the probable
causes are either badly sharpened blades or deformed wings.
10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or low kerbs which
could distort the horizontal position and damage the edge of the
cutting deck as well as the blades.
