Operation; Mowing Precautions; Starting The Engine - Honda HRR216VXA Owner's Manual

MOWING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review the LAWN
MOWER SAFETY chapter beginning on page 4 and the BEFORE
OPERATION chapter beginning on page 11.
Even if you have operated other mowers, take time to become familiar
with how this mower works and practice in a safe area until you build
up your skills.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed
area, such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area
and cause illness or death.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting the engine, the Smart Drive control must be released,
preventing the mower from moving forward.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
2. Move the throttle lever to CHOKE for a cold engine, or FAST for a
warm engine.
