OPERATION
Mowing Patterns
Your Honda mower will work most efficiently if you use the following
mowing patterns as much as possible. Mower deck and equipment
design, and the direction in which the blade rotates, cause these
mowing patterns to give the best results.
Mulching
(HRB215 requires optional
mulching kit)
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.
Bagging
(HRM215 requires optional grass
bag kit)
Use a clockwise mowing pattern.
This will give the best bagging
performance, leaving the least
amount of clippings on the lawn.
Side-Discharge Mowing
(requires optional side-discharge
chute)
Where possible, use the same
mowing pattern recommended for
bagging. 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.
