INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING

These lawn mowers are equipped with a self-charging system that keeps the battery charged

during normal use. However, the battery will self-discharge during storage and, in some cases, can be significantly discharged at the time of retail sale. In order to ensure trouble-free performance, the battery should be fully charged during PDI and prior to customer delivery.

1.Remove the battery cover by removing the three cover mounting screws, and then disconnect the battery connector.

2.Measure the DC voltage at the battery terminals. Use the table

to the right to determine the minimum charge time required to fully charge the battery using the Honda specified charger,

P/N 31570-VL0-W01.

NOTICE: Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours or damage to the battery will occur.

3.Connect the Honda charger to the battery for the minimum charge time. The charger can be left connected longer than noted but not longer than 24 hours. Doing so will cause damage to the battery.

NOTICE: Only use the Honda specified charger. Do not use an automotive style battery charger as it will damage the battery.

4.Reinstall the battery and cover. Be sure the battery is properly seated on the terminals.

HRR216K9VLA, HRX217K4/K5HZA, HRX217K4VLA specifications

The Honda Power Equipment lineup boasts impressive lawn mowers, including the HRX217K4VLA, HRX217K4/K5HZA, and HRR216K9VLA models. These mowers are engineered for excellence, delivering robust performance, innovative technologies, and exceptional reliability for homeowners and professional landscapers alike.

The HRX217K4VLA and HRX217K4/K5HZA are equipped with Honda's renowned GCV190 engine, known for its fuel efficiency and powerful performance. The Auto Choke system ensures easy starting, eliminating the hassle of manual chokes. Furthermore, these models feature a dual blade system, which creates a finer mulch for better decomposition while also improving bagging performance. The HRX217's MicroCut blade technology enhances cutting efficiency by providing up to 10 cutting surfaces, resulting in a quality cut that makes your lawn look pristine.

The Versamow System is another standout feature of the HRX models, allowing operators to mulch, bag, or discharge grass clippings with the simple adjustment of a lever. This versatility not only promotes convenience but also caters to various mowing preferences, making it suitable for different lawn conditions. Additionally, the HRX217 models come with a sturdy, rust-free Nexite cutting deck, which is more durable than traditional steel decks and helps maintain aesthetics over time.

The Honda HRR216K9VLA, while part of a slightly different series, shares many impressive features. This model also utilizes a powerful Honda GCV160 engine, ensuring effective performance for homeowners. The HRR216 utilizes a 21-inch cutting deck, making it capable of maneuvering easily around tight spaces. The Roto-Stop blade stopping technology allows users to stop the blades while keeping the engine running, enabling easy transport across driveways or pathways without the need to restart the engine.

All three models are designed with user comfort in mind. The adjustable handle heights and lightweight construction promote ease of use and reduce fatigue during operation. Safety features, such as operator presence control, ensure that the mower will not operate without the user’s hold on the handle, adding an extra layer of security.

In summary, the Honda HRX217K4VLA, HRX217K4/K5HZA, and HRR216K9VLA mowers exemplify Honda's commitment to quality, performance, and innovation in lawn care. Their advanced features, durable construction, and user-friendly designs make them top choices for both casual and professional lawn enthusiasts.
