Obstacles; Gravel And Loose Objects - Honda HRB215K3PDA Harmony Owner's Manual

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. Be careful when mowing over obstacles
embedded in the lawn, such as sprinkler heads, paving, edging, etc.
Avoid anything that sticks up above the surface of the lawn.
If the blade(s) hits something, or if the mower starts to vibrate, stop
the engine immediately, disconnect the spark plug cap, and check for
damage (see page 17). Striking objects may damage the blade(s),
bend the crankshaft, and/or break the mower deck or other
components. Vibration usually indicates serious trouble.
The Distributor's Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by
accident or collision.
Gravel and Loose Objects
Gravel, loose stones, and landscaping material can be picked up by
the mower and thrown many feet with enough force to cause serious
personal injury and/or property damage. The best way to prevent
potential injury from thrown objects is to release the flywheel brake
lever to stop the blade(s) before reaching areas with gravel, loose
stones, or landscaping material.
