Honda HR 195SXA Owner's Manual page 34

For best results, start at the outer
edges of the lawn, and work toward
the center in a clockwise direction.
If you use the standard grass bag, a
clockwise mowing pattern, starting at
the outer edges of the lawn, will give
the best bagging performance, leaving
the least amount of clippings on the
lawn. The mower will bag most
efficiently with this mowing pattern,
due to cutter deck design and the
direction in which the blade rotates.
If you use the optional side-discharge
chute, use the same clockwise
mowing pattern.
This will prevent
clippings from piling up in the path of
the mower.
