Emptying The Grass Bag; Maintenance; Air Cleaner Maintenance; Changing The Engine Oil - Honda HRD536HXE Betriebsanleitung

• If your terrain does not have a regular shape or involves several
obstacles, divide it into internal parcels which you can mow in the
recommended direction:
[1] With collection: turn in a
clockwise direction to
achieve the maximum
efficiency.
[2] With the mulching kit
(optional, see page 13): turn
in an anti-clockwise
direction.

EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG

When the grass bag becomes too full, grass
collection is no longer efficient (the sound of the
mower changes and the bag is no longer puffed up
by the air from the blade).
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the grass bag
3. Empty the bag:
• Hold the bag by the handle [3].
• Grasp the bag rear side [4] and
shake it to remove the grass.
4. Reinstall the grass bag on the mower
(see page 4).
CAUTION:
• To reduce the fire risk, never leave
grass cuttings or leaves in the grass
bag, or in or near buildings.
Decomposing vegetable matter causes a high temperature rise.
Make sure that the grass bag fastener is securely closed before
use (discharge guard).

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance will ensure a long life
for your mower.
To prevent accidental start-up,
shut off the engine and
disconnect the spark plug
cap [5] .
CAUTION:
• Use only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent for maintenance
or repair. Replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality
may damage the mower.
• The engine and the muffler reach temperatures high enough to
cause burns and start fires if flammable materials are to be found
nearby. Allow the engine to cool down for 15 minutes before
carrying out maintenance operations.
• For longer service life and greater efficiency, keep the underside
of the mower clean and free from grass clippings by cleaning it
with a wire brush as scraper. Remove of rust and applying a
corrosion inhibitor are especially important before seasonal
storage.
• Periodic inspection and adjustment of the mower is essential if a
high level of performance is to be maintained. Regular
maintenance will ensure a long service life. The required service
intervals and the kind of maintenance to be performed are
described on page 12.

AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE

A dirty air cleaner will reduce the flow of air to the carburetor. To
prevent the carburetor operating inefficiently, the air cleaner must
be regularly maintained.
Never clean the air cleaner elements using gas or flammable
solvents ; this could cause a fire or an explosion.
1. Remove wing nuts [6] and
[2]
cover [7].
2. Remove the elements [8]
and [9] and separate
them. Carefully check
them for holes or tears;
replace if necessary.

SAFETY
3. Foam element [8]: clean in
hot soapy water, rinse and
allow to dry thoroughly or
clean in high flash-point
solvent and allow to dry.
Dip the element in clean
engine oil and squeeze
out all excess oil. The
engine will smoke during
start-up if too much oil is
left in the foam.
[3]
4. Paper element [9]: tap the element lightly against a hard surface
to remove excess dirt, or blow compressed air through it from
the inside out. Never try to remove the dirt by brushing the filter
since this will only force the impurities into the fibres.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL

Drain the oil while the engine is still hot, so that
the oil drains quickly and completely.
CAUTION:
• Used engine oil can cause skin cancer if it remains in contact with
B3 C1
the skin for long periods. Although this is highly unlikely unless
C18 D7 D8
you handle used oil every day, we recommend that you wash your
hands thoroughly with soap and water each time you handle used
engine oil.
1. Remove the filler cap [10].
2. Tip the mower on its side.
3. Place a receptacle [11] under
the casing filler tube hole.
4. Return the mower to the upright
position on its wheels when the
casing is completely empty.
5. Fill up [12] to "high level" [13]
using the recommended oil.
6. Screw the filler cap [10] fully on
to avoid the risk of leaks.
