3. CONTROLS FUEL VALVE The fuel valve opens and closes the connection between the fuel tank and the carburetor. The fuel valve must be in the ON position for the engine to run.
3. CONTROLS RDTO-STOP LEVER I The ROTO-STOP lever operates the blade brake/clutch mechanism. It is used to start and stop the blade. To put the blade into operation, press the button on top of the ROTO-STOP lever, then push the lever forward and hold it against the handlebar.
3. CONTROLS CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVERS B The blade can cause serious injury. Stop the engine before adjusting cutting height. There are five cutting height settings: 1 in (2.8 cm), l-1/2 in (4.1 cm), 2 in (5.3 cm), 2-l/2 in (6.5 cm), and 3 in (7.
4. ATTACHMENTS Honda HRC215 mowers are provided with a grass bag as standard equipment. You can operate the mower with the grass bag (or optional hard-shell grass catcher) installed to collect the grass clippings, or with the grass bag removed (or optional side-discharge chute installed) if you wish to leave the grass clippings on the lawn.
4. ATTACHMENTS A hard-shell grass catcher, and a side-discharge chute, are available from authorized Honda lawn mower dealers. They attach to the cutter deck in place of the standard grass bag.
5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Check the following items before starting the engine BLADE Turn the fuel valve OFF, and tilt the mower to the right, so the carburetor side is up. NOTE: Hard starting and fuel leakage may result if the mower is tilted with the carburetor side down.
5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK GRASS BAG Check that the grass bag is in good condition and not clogged. A clogged grass bag will not collect grass efficiently. When the bag needs cleaning, wash it with a garden hose, and allow it to dry thoroughly before use; a wet bag will clog quickly.
5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK ENGINE OIL Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the mower on a level surface. 1. Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick clean. 2. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in. 3.
FUEL Fuel tank capacity: 0.26 US gal (1.0 PI Remove the filler cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel carefully to avoid overfilling or spilling fuel. There should be no fuel in the filler neck. m Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode, causing serious injury or death.
5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Fuel Recommendation Pump octane rating: 86 or higher. We recommend unleaded fuel because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK AIR CLEANER Check that the air filter is clean and in good condition. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance A damaged air filter will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK CUTTING HEIGHT Check the cutting height settings, and make any necessary adjustments (see page 12). Set all four adjusting levers to the same cutting height position, m The blade can cause serious injury. Stop the engine before adjusting cutting height.
STARTING THE ENGINE If you run the engine in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed, the air can become contaminated with a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. FUEL VALVE B Exhaust contains pois- onous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas.
6. OPERATION 3. Operate the starter. NOTE: Always release the ROTO-STOP lever before starting the engine If the blade drive is engaged, extra effort will be required to operate the starter. Place your foot on the step of the cutter deck. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly.
4. When the engine warms up, move the throttle lever away from the CHOKE position. Set the lever in FAST ( b ) position for mowing, or in SLOW ( -1 position for idling. THROTTLE LEVER NOTE: If restarting a warm engine in the CHOKE position, move the throttle lever away from CHOKE as soon as the engine starts.
6. OPERATION MOWER OPERATION To mow, set the throttle lever in the FAST ( @ 1 position, press the button on top of the ROTO-STOP lever, then move the ROTO-STOP lever forward and hold it against the handlebar. The blade will turn while the ROTO-STOP lever is held forward.
6a OPERATiON m If the mower tilts or overturns, the blade will be exposed; that will increase the risk of injury from blade contact and from thrown objects and debris. For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful not to lose your footing and your control of the mower.
6. OPERATION STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. Release the ROTO-STOP lever. 2. Move the throttle lever to the STOP position. STOP When the mower is not in use, turn the fuel valve to the OFF position to prevent .
6. OPERATION HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
7. MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS A cutting height of l-1/2 in (4.1 cm) or 2 in (5.3 cm) is appropriate for most lawns during cool weather. A higher cut may be needed to protect the lawn during hot summer months. Consult a local nursery or lawn & garden center for advice about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area.
7. MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS 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, or the optional hard-shell gra.
7. MOWING RECOMMENDATIONS If the grass is not very thick or tall, you can mow a wide swath. Keep the wheels close to the swath line for maximum cutting width.
8. TRANSPORTING B The engine and exhaust system become hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping. Contact with hot engine components can cause bums and can ignite some materials. t Avoid touching the engine or exhaust system for at least 15 minutes after the engine has stopped.
9. MAINTENANCE Wriodic maintenance and adjustment are necessary to keep the mower in good operating condition. Service and inspect according to the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. ‘J l To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, shut the engine off before performing any maintenance.
9. MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL CHANGE Engine oil capacity: 0.63 US qt (0.6 PI Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining. e, 1. Place a suitable container under the cutter deck to catch the used oil. NOTE: Check to be sure the drain hole in the cutter deck is not clogged.
3. Install the oil drain bolt and tighten it securely. 4. Fill with the recommended oil (see c. page 17) to the upper level on the dipstick. Do not overfill. ; 5. Install the filler cap/dipstick. 6. Wipe the cutter deck drain channel clean to reduce dirt build-up when the mower is used.

10. STORAGE 4. For prolonged storage, perform these additional steps: For storage of 1 or 2 months: . For storage of 1 or 2 months, be sure the fuel tank is full. If partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel oxidation and deterioration, resulting in bad fuel that may cause hard starting.
10. STORAGE For storage of more than 2 months (continued): d. Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel valve, and drain the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. B . Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode, causing serious injury or death.
10. STORAGE -2’ Cover the mower to keep out dust. NOTE: Plastic sheets should not be used as dust covers; they trap moisture under the covers, promoting rust and corrosion. Removal from Storage * Check all items described in the PRE-OPERATION CHECK section of this manual (pages 15-211.
