GRASS BAG CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT

Cleaning

Wash the bag with a garden hose and allow it to dry completely before

use; a wet bag will clog quickly.

Replacement

Replace a worn or damaged bag with a Honda replacement bag or its

equivalent (page 19).

Removal

1. Unclip the plastic edges of the

bag from the frame.

2. Remove the bag from the

frame.

Installation

1. Insert the bag frame into the

bag, as shown.

2. Clip the plastic edges of the

bag onto the frame, as shown.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Level Check

1. Unscrew and remove the oil

filler cap/dipstick and wipe it

clean.

2. Insert and remove the dipstick

without screwing it into the

filler neck. Check the oil level

shown on the dipstick.

3. If the oil level is low, add oil to

reach the upper limit mark on

the dipstick. Do not overfill. If

the engine is overfilled, the

excess oil may get transferred

to the air cleaner housing and

air cleaner filter.

NOTICE

Running the engine with a low

oil level can cause engine

damage. This type of damage

is not covered by the

DISTRIBUTOR’S LIMITED

WARRANTY (page 20).

4. Screw in the oil filler

cap/dipstick securely.

Engine Oil

Recommendations

Always change the oil in

accordance with the

maintenance schedule on

page 9.

Oil is a major factor affecting

performance and service life.

Use 4-stroke automotive

detergent oil.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities

shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in

your area is within the recommended range.

The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API label on the

oil container. Honda recommends API SERVICE category SJ or later

oil with the ILSAC “starburst” certification mark displayed on the

container.

Engine Oil Change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly

and completely.

1. Turn the fuel valve OFF (page 8). This will reduce the possibility of

fuel leakage.

2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.

3. Place a suitable container

next to the mower to catch

the used oil, then tilt the

mower on its right side.

The used oil will drain

through the filler neck. Allow

the oil to drain completely.

Please dispose of used

motor oil and the container

in a manner that is

compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a

sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for

reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or

pour it down a drain.

4. Fill with the recommended oil.

Do not overfill. Allow a couple

of minutes for the oil to settle in

the engine, then measure the

oil level as shown under

“Engine Oil Level Check.”

NOTICE

Using nondetergent oil can

shorten the engine’s service

life, and using 2-stroke oil can

damage the engine.
