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)
Start mowing at the outer edges of the
lawn, and work toward the center in a
circular pattern, always discharging the
clippings to the outside. This will prevent
clippings from pling up in the path of the
mower.
