A inch Honda lawn mower blade tip moves at nearly miles an hour! This is because the flywheel brake on the mower is engaged until you depress the flywheel brake lever top lever on the handlebars.
Depressing this lever while pulling up on the handles will allow you to easily move the handles up. American Honda's Distributor's Limited Warranty coverage starts from the date of the first retail purchase. American Honda only manufactures new lawn mowers; we do not refurbish products for resale. Since Honda is not involved with the refurbishing, we have no knowledge of what work has been done to refurbished units, nor do we know the reason why they were returned to Home Depot. You would need to contact the store where the product was purchased for more information.
Refurbished mowers are sold "as-is", so any damaged or missing parts are the responsibility of the buyer or retailer, not American Honda. Your lawn mower engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations.

For best mulching results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during the growing season. If you look closely, you'll see that most grass has stems and leaves. If you cut off the leaves, you'll scalp the lawn.
Let the grass recover between mowings. Your mower will work better, and your lawn will look better. If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height setting, then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don't take off more than one third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may develop. Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center for cutting height recommendations and advice about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area.
Cutting height adjustment is explained in the owner's manual. A sharp blade cuts cleanly. A dull blade tears the grass, leaving shredded ends that turn brown. When your blade doesn't cut cleanly anymore, have it sharpened or replaced. If the ground is too dry, mowing will stir up a lot of dust. Besides being unpleasant to work in, too much dust will clog the air filter.
If dust is a problem, water your lawn the day before mowing. Mow when the grass is dry to your touch but the soil is still moist. Wet grass is slippery and can make you lose your footing. Also, wet grass clippings will clog the mower deck and collect in clumps on the lawn. Always wait for wet grass to dry before mowing. Before clearing a clogged mower deck, stop the engine and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. Disconnect the spark plug cap and tilt the mower so the air cleaner side is up.
Clear a clogged deck with a stick, not your hands. The blade must spin very fast to cut properly. Always use the FAST throttle setting to keep the engine running at maximum rpm. If engine speed drops, it could mean the engine is being overloaded by the blade trying to cut too much grass.
For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by a few inches. If the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower mowing swath. 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.
If the lawn has an irregular shape or many obstacles, divide it into sections where you can use counterclockwise mowing patterns.
Use a clockwise mowing pattern. This will give the best bagging performance, leaving the least amount of clippings on the lawn.
Remove the grass bag and close the discharge guard. Remove the mulching plug or adjust the Clip Director knob to the desired setting and begin mowing in a clockwise mowing pattern. If the lawn has an irregular shape, or many obstacles, divide it into sections. Your mower can be used to pick up fallen leaves for disposal. If using the mower to bag large amounts of fallen leaves and not for mowing, set the cutting height adjustment levers so the front of the mower deck is one or two settings higher than the rear.
If you want to mulch fallen leaves into your lawn, don't let the leaf cover get too deep before you begin. For best results, start mulching while grass still shows through the leaf cover. In places where fallen leaves completely cover the grass, remove the leaves by raking or use the grass bag so your mower can pick them up for disposal.
To bag leaves with the HRX mower, position the Clip Director knob in the 9 position not quite full mulching to start. This setting will allow the leaves to be recirculated and recut until the particles are small enough to pass though the sliding door opening and into the grass bag. Depending on the size, type, and water content of the leaves, it may be necessary to open the Clip Director to allow for best bagging results.
Using the Clip Director correctly will allow better grass bag filling, resulting in less grass bag emptying. Be sure there are no obstacles, including rocks, hidden under the leaves. To bag leaves with rear discharge mowers, install the optional leaf shredder in the discharge opening. The leaf shredder helps to chop up the leaves to better pack the grass bag so it won't have to be emptied as often.
