OPERATING THE MOWER
Turning
To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direc-
tion required.
To make a tight turn (release the ground drive clutch lever, Autodrive
model), apply downward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front
wheels just above ground level and steer in the required direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower exces-
sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower
when the engine is running.
Stopping
Release the ground drive clutch lever on auto drive models and push the
position. Then release the engine
throttle control lever to the ‘slow’
stop lever.
Emergency stop - If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark
plug lead.
STOP
Slopes
To prevent engine damage do not use the mower on slopes greater
than 20 degrees.
Height of Cut
Move the height of cut lever sideways to disengage it from the locking
notch, then push forwards to raise or pull backwards to lower the height
of cut. Release the lever in the required position and ensure that it locks
firmly into one of the eight notch settings.
Always select a height of cut to suit operating conditions. Prevent
engine overloading and blockages by avoiding low cuts in long grass
conditions. Be prepared to make two cuts when the grass is long.

OPERATING THE MOWER
Before Mowing
To prevent accidents thoroughly inspect the area and remove all
objects which when contacted by the cutterblade could become
dangerous projectiles. Inspect the area for hidden obstructions
which when contacted by the cutterblade could risk health and
safety or result in damage to the mower. Remember the location of
these obstructions and ensure that you mow around them.
Grassbag
Lift the grassbag through the handlebar and close the rear deflector to
rest against the rear of the mower.
To empty the grassbag, pour out the grass clippings and shake the
grassbag vigorously to clean the airways. Good grass collection
depends on good air flow through the grassbag. When collecting grass
clippings it is important that the grassbag is emptied regularly to pre-
vent blockages and engine overloading.
Without Grass Collection
Remove the grassbag and operate the mower with the rear deflector in
the closed position.
Heavy Growth
To prevent engine overloading and blockages be prepared to make two
cuts in areas of heavy growth. If collection is required, first mow the
area at the maximum height of cut setting with the grassbag fitted.
Reduce the height of cut and mow the area again as necessary until the
required finish is obtained.
To prevent damage to your lawn do not remove more than one third of
grass height in one cut.

LAWN CARE CALENDAR
To be used as a guide only.
January
There is very little work to do this month apart from brushing away
leaves. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged.
February
Rake the grass thoroughly. Spike the lawn to aerate and stimulate soil
organisms and root growth and apply lawn sand if necessary.
March
The yearly lawn work programme really starts this month. As soon as
the ground conditions are suitable, the first cut can be made. The first
cut should merely “top” the grass as close cutting at this stage could
result in severe yellowing or browning. Two cuts are generally suffi-
cient this month.
April
Mow often enough to stop grass growing away. Dig out patches of
coarse grass or resistant weed. Re-seed bare patches.
May
Keep mowing increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selec-
tive weed killers or combined weed/feed preparations if you did not
feed the lawn in April.
June
Summer mowing should now be under way. It should be necessary to
mow the lawn twice a week. Raking before mowing is important this
month as the combined action keeps runners of clover under control.
Water the grass if necessary, and remember to soak thoroughly.
July
Treat the grass with the second application of fertiliser or weed
killer/fertiliser. Water when necessary and rake occasionally. As a gen-
eral rule the grass clippings should be removed each time you mow. If
weather conditions are dry and hot and the grass is weed free, leave the
clippings on the lawn to help maintain ground moisture.

111-2300 (A) 4/6/08 11:27 am Page 1.19
LAWN CARE CALENDAR
August
Keep mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Fill any cracks
caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. In dry weath-
er conditions leave the grass longer to help retain ground moisture.
September
Raise the height of cut to allow the grass to thicken and protect the
roots from the winter frost and snow.
October
Rake out the thatch from the turf and spike the lawn to assist in
drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand.
November
Use a stiff broom to disperse worm casts before mowing. Keep turf
free from leaves.
December
Apart from brushing away leaves, December is a slack end of a busy
year. Keep off the lawn if it is very wet or frozen.
To prevent grass damage do not remove more than one third of the
grass height in one cut.

MAINTENANCE
MOWER
Deck Housing
Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck housing
immediately after use.
Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive.
Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after use on treat-
ed grass and store well away from corrosive materials.
Securing Nuts & Bolts
Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace
missing or damaged items immediately.

Clutch Cable Adjustment
32-38mm
Autodrive Models - Check the clutch cable operation every 25 oper-
ating hours and adjust if necessary. The clutch cable is adjusted cor-
rectly when the belt drive just engages with the clutch lever positioned
32-38mm from the handlebar.
Unscrew the locknuts and screw the adjuster in or out as necessary.
Tighten the locknuts when correctly.

MOWER MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil every 25
operating hours.
Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables at the
point of entry and exit from their outer casing.
Cutterblade Removal
Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the
engine stops. Refer to ‘Engine Manual’. Remove the spark plug lead
and allow the engine to cool. Turn the mower on its right hand side and
ensure that the air cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.
Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with the gloved hand and remove
the bolt securing the cutterblade.
To prevent accidents never work on the cutterblade unless the
spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade has sharp
edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect your hands when
working on the cutterblade. DO NOT rotate tools towards the cut-
ting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS
use genuine Hayter replacement parts.
The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement should
be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cut-
terblade is not bent or cracked.
A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate excessively
and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced cutterblade.
Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is tightened to the
specified torque of 54Nm.
Replace the cutterblade every 2 years of sooner if excessively worn or
damaged.
To prevent injury it is wise to seek assistance when turning the mower
on its side.

MAINTENANCE
MOWER
Cutterblade Assembly
Assemble the cutterblade (1) with the turned up edges facing towards
the engine. Secure the cutterblade using the friction washer (2) and new
fixing bolt (3) and tighten to a torque of 54Nm.
1
To prevent accidents never reuse the original fixing bolt.

3
Cutterblade Sharpening
A slightly worn cutterblade may be re-sharpened. Both blade edges
must be sharpened equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the cutterblade
every 25 mowing hours or more frequently if conditions require.
Remove the cutterblade from the mower and clean using a brush and
water. Inspect the cutterblade for signs of damage.
Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat file to restore performance.
Ensure that the cutterblade is balanced. Use a screw driver with a
round shaft to support the cutterblade through its centre hole. Hold the
cutterblade horizontal and then release. A balanced cutterblade will
remain horizontal.
If the cutterblade is not balanced the heavy end will rotate downwards.
Sharpen the heavy end until the cutterblade is correctly balanced.

MOWER MAINTENANCE
Storage
To store the handlebar unscrew the 2 small securing knobs sufficient-
ly to allow it to pivot forwards to rest against the mower. Take care to
ensure that the control cables do not become snagged at the pivot point
and depress the engine stop lever to prevent it being damaged through
contact with the engine.
Engines stored in excess of 30 days need to be protected with Honda fuel
additive or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in the fuel sys-
tem or on essential carburettor parts. To ensure your mower is main-
tained in good working order it is important that the following procedure
is adopted. Refer to the Maintenance section as necessary.
Drain fuel from the engine by operating the engine until it stops and
drain fuel from carburettor using drain plug (1) located on carburettor
bowl.
1
Disconnect the spark plug lead.
Change the engine oil.
Pull the starter rope gently until resistance is felt. This will close the
valves and prevent corrosion and ingress of dirt.
Clean grass and debris from the engine cylinder, cylinder head cooling
fins, under top cowl, and around and behind exhaust/exhaust guard.
Clean all other areas of the mower and ensure that the grassbag is clean.
Lubricate the mower.
Treat metal parts with a water repellent anti-corrosion product.
Cover the mower with a protective sheet and store it in a dry, ventilat-
ed area.
