Mowing Patterns
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.
Mulching
Use a counterclockwise mowing pattern.
If the lawn has an irregular shape, or
many obstacles, divide it into sections
where you can use counterclockwise
patterns.
Side-Discharge Mowing
(HRS)
Where possible, use the same mowing
pattern recommended for mulching. If
the lawn has an irregular shape, or many
obstacles, divide it into sections where
clippings will be discharged away from
uncut areas. This will prevent clippings
from piling up in the path of the mower.
Bagging (HRR, HRZ)
Use a clockwise mowing pattern. This
will give the best bagging performance,
leaving the least amount of clippings on
the lawn. For thick, heavy grass, an
optional high-lift bagging blade (page 60)
may be purchased from an authorized
servicing Honda dealer.
