Rear Shield
During normal use the rear
shield [1] is subject to
deterioration and wear.
Remove the grass bag and
raise the discharge guard [2] to
check the rear shield for cracks
or tears. If the rear shield is
excessively worn, have it
replaced by your authorized
Honda servicing dealer.
Clip Director
Clip Director Knob Adjustment
Adjust the Clip Director knob [1] in any one of the ten positions to
achieve the desired mowing results.
To adjust the Clip Director knob, pull the knob downward and towards
the rear of the mower. The knob adjusts a sliding door [2] from the
fully open BAG position to the fully closed MULCH position (see the
following page).
[1]
If a high resistance is noticed when moving the Clip Director knob
from side-to-side, excessive grass may have built up on top of the
sliding door.
Some grass accumulation in the discharge opening is normal when
the Clip Director is fully closed. To remove this grass, close the
discharge guard, fully open the Clip Director, start the engine, and
engage the blade control lever several times.
Important Safety Precaution
Always turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug cap 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.
Sliding Door Position
The sliding door [2] 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 [1] all the
way to the BAG position. Check the appearance of the lawn. As the
knob is moved towards the MULCH position, more grass will be
