Adjusting Cutting Height; Checking Engine Oil Level - Honda HRD536C Serie Manual Del Propietário

CHECKING THE AIR CLEANER
CAUTION:
• Never run the engine without the air cleaner fitted since this could
cause premature engine wear.
To check the condition of the air cleaner:
1. Press the latch tabs [1]
on the top of the air
cleaner cover and
remove the cover [2].
2. Check the cleanliness of
filter element [3]. If the
element is dirty, follow
the cleaning procedure
(see "Maintenance"
chapter page 8).
3. Reinstall the filter [3]
and air cleaner cover [2].
NOTE: After cleaning the air cleaner element, refit cover and push
fully home.
CHECKING CUTTING MEANS CONDITION
CAUTION:
• Do not tilt the lawnmower with the
carburettor facing down; this will make
the lawnmower difficult to start later, due
to engine oil blocking the air cleaner.
To check cutting means condition:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Pull off the spark plug cap.
3. Place the lawnmower on its side
[A], so that the carburettor is
facing upwards (left side).
• Check if the cutting means [4]
shows signs of wear or
damage and replace it if
necessary.
• Check that cutting-means
screws [5] are tightened (see
"Maintenance" chapter
page 8).
• For cutting means replacement
or removal/ installation, refer to
the procedure described in the
"Maintenance" chapter
[6] [7]
[6] NORMAL
[7] EXCESSIVELY WORN
Never operate the lawnmower with a worn, damaged, split or
dented cutting means. A piece of cutting means which breaks
off and is thrown outwards can cause serious bodily injuries.
NOTE: Cutting means wear is increased when the lawnmower is
used on sandy soils. Inspect the cutting means more often when the
lawnmower is used in these conditions.

ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

To change the cutting height:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Push the front and rear adjusting levers [10] towards the wheels
and move them up or down to lower or raise the cutting height.
Adjust front and rear wheels to the same height.
[1]
[2]
Be careful not to touch the muffler when adjusting the right
front wheel height.
The cutting height settings are approximate values, the actual
height of the cut grass varies with the lawn and ground condition. To
choose the cutting height, check how the lawn looks after mowing a
small area and adjust the cutting height where necessary.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

CAUTION:
• The engine oil is an essential element which affects the
performance and lifetime of the engine.
• The engine may be seriously damaged if run with insufficient oil.
We recommend the use of Honda 4-stroke oil or an equivalent
quality engine oil which is highly detergent. Oil viscosity must be
appropriate for the average temperature in the zone where the
lawnmower is to be used.
Types of oil [11] adapted to the
ambient temperature [12].
To check engine oil level:
1. Put the lawnmower on flat, even
ground.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and
[9]
wipe the dipstick [13].
3. Replace the dipstick in the filler
neck but do not screw it down.
4. Check the level of the oil left on
the dipstick. If the level is near
the low level mark [15], add the
recommended oil up to the high
level mark [14].
5. Screw filler cap.
