                        1. SAFETY  Fire and Bum Hazards  Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Use  extreme care when handling gasoline. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF  CHILDREN.  l Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep flames and  sparks away, and do not smoke in the area.  l Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank (there  should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, tighten the filler cap  securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure

                        1. SAFETY  IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS  YOUR CHILDREN’S SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT to Honda. That’s why we  urge you to read this message before letting your youngster operate this lawn  mower. Lawn mowers are tools, not toys. As with any equipment, bad judgment  can result in serious injuries. You can help prevent accidents by making good  decisions about it when, and how your youngster operates this equipment.  The first question you’ll need to ask is whether your youngster is capable of  opera

                        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.  When the mower is not in use, turn the fuel valve to the OFF position to prevent  the possibility of carburetor flooding, and to reduce the possibility of fuel  leakage  m  Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can  explode, causing injury or death.

                        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.  Releasing the ROTO-STOP lever will stop the blade  Operate the ROTO-STOP lever with a quick and complete motion, so the blade  drive is always either fully engaged or stopped. This will help to prevent stalling  the

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  (7.7 cm). These are approximate  figures, as the actual height of cut  grass will vary with lawn and soil  conditions.  To adjust cutting height, pull each  adjusting lever toward the wheel, and  move it into another notch. Set

                        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. When attachments are removed, the discharge guard  automatically closes to protect the operator from objects that may be thrown  by the blade  NOTE:  l

                        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.  Inspect the blade for wear and  BLADE BOLTS  damage.  NORMAL EXCESSIVELY BENT CRACKED  WORN  A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent, cracked,  or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or

                        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.  The grass bag wears during normal  use and will eventually require  replacement If you operate the mower  with a damaged or worn out bag,  objects picked up by the blade may be  thrown through the bag material.

                        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. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick. If near the lower level, fill to the  upper level with the recommended oil. Do not overfill.  IMPORTANT NOTICE  Running the engine with a low oil level will cause  engine damage.
