Operation - Honda HR21 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
The HR21 may be used either with the grass bag, or
without the bag as a mulching mower.
The following suggestions and rules are intended to
help you operate your Honda HR21 under the safest
conditions possible. Be alert and exercise the same
care using the mower as you would using any other
power tool.
* Be especially careful when mowing uneven or rough
ground. The mower may tilt, exposing the blade,
and hidden objects could be thrown by the blade.
Keep all four wheels on the ground.
/iEzq
* Use extra care when mowing around objects to
keep the blade from striking them. Never delibera-
tely mow over any object.
* Stop the engine immediately if the blade hits an
object or the mower starts to vibrate. Remove the
spark plug cap (keep the wire away from the plug)
and inspect for damage.
NOTE:
. Mow across. slopes. Do not mow excessively steep
slopes.
Always push, never pull, a mower with the engine
running.
Control direction by the handle, not by
foot pressure on the mower housing.
. Keep a firm hold on the handle and walk, never
run, with the mower. Don't lag behind the ma-
chine or let it pull you.
. (S-XAM TYPE) Do not use the drive clutch when
maneuvering around trees, etc. Release the clutch
and push the mower while using the ROTO-STOP
for better directional control.
