Honda Power Equipment HRC216 4. ATTACHMENTS , 16

4. ATTACHMENTS

Honda HRC216 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:

When mowing without attachments, the closed discharge guard will trap

more grass under the cutter deck, and the cutter deck may clog when

mowing grass that is thick or tall. If clogging occurs, mow more frequently,

cut a narrower swath, and/or select a slower drive speed. You may also need

to raise the mower’s cutting height.

If you wish to leave the grass clippings on the lawn, we recommend using

the optional, side discharge chute (see page 17).
