OPERATION
Mowing Patterns
Your Honda mower will work most efficiently if you use the following
mowing patterns as much as possible. Mower deck and equipment
design, and the direction in which the blade rotates, cause these
mowing patterns to give the best results.
Mulching Use a counterclockwise mowing
pattern. If the lawn has an
irregular shape, or many
obstacles, divide it into sections
where you can use
counterclockwise mowing
patterns.
Bagging Use a clockwise mowing pattern.
This will give the best bagging
performance, leaving the least
amount of clippings on the lawn.
Side-Discharge Mowing (requires optional side-discharge
chute)
Use the clockwise mowing
pattern, always discharging the
clippings to the outside. This will
prevent the clippings from building
up in the path of the mower.
