HONDA HR215SXA - Manual (Page 60)

Shift Cable Adjustment (SXA)
Shift cable adjustment is necessary if the shift lever does not operate
properly or does not align with the numbers beside the lever.
With the shift lever in 2nd speed, check that the lever, throughout its
free-play range, is well-centered on the number “2" on the lever
cover. If adjustment is necessary:
1. Loosen the lock nuts with a 19 mm wrench, and move the adjuster
up or down as required.
2. Tighten the lock nuts and recheck free play.
3. Start the engine outdoors, and operate the shift lever (release the
drive clutch lever before moving the shift lever). Check that the
transmission shifts properly, and that the lever is aligned with the
numbers beside it.
If the transmission does not shift as it should, with correct cable
adjustment, take the mower to an authorized Honda servicing
dealer for repair.
