Drive Clutch Lever; Shiftlever - Honda Harmony HRB215SXA Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Drive Clutch Lever (HRMPlSSXA 81 HRB215SXA)
To propel the mower, move the
DRIVE CLUTCH LEVER
drive clutch lever up, and hold it
(HRBPlBSXA & HRM215SXA)
against the handlebar.
Release the drive clutch lever to
stop the mower.
Operate the blade control lever with
a quick and complete motion, so
the drive clutch is always either
fully engaged or released. This will
help to extend the service life of the
clutch mechanism.
For self-propelled mowing, press the button on top of the blade control
lever, pull the blade control lever back, then move the drive clutch lever
against the handlebar. Hold both levers against the handlebar.
Always release the drive clutch lever before starting the engine. If the
drive clutch is engaged, the mower will move forward when you
operate the starter.
Shift Lever
(HRMPlSSXA & HRB215SXA)
Use the shift lever to select the
forward speed at which you wish
to mow.
Do not use the throttle lever to
adjust your forward speed. The
throttle lever must remain in the
FAST position for good mowing
performance.
You can shift gears without
releasing the drive clutch lever,
but the transmission may not shift
smoothly if the mower is pulling
hard. For smoother operation,
release the drive clutch lever
before shifting gears.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER
To avoid incomplete gear engagement, move the shift lever all the
,
way forward or all the way back.
