Remove all the 
cardboard from 
around the handlebar.

1. With the handlebar 

adjust knobs in the 
unlocked position, 
raise the handlebar 
into the mowing 
position.

2. Align the adjust 

knobs with one of 
the three holes on 
the handle stay. 
Setting the adjust 
knobs in the lowest 
holes raises the 
handlebar to its highest position, and setting the adjust knobs in 
the highest holes lowers the handlebar to its lowest position.

3. Turn the adjusting knobs 90 degrees into the lock position and the 

pins will spring into the holes and lock into position.

The mower is shipped with the battery disconnected. The battery is 
shipped with a partial charge and should be charged for 
20 to 24 hours before use. Refer to “CHARGING THE BATTERY 
(HRX217HMA ONLY)” on page 13. 

Install the key in the switch.

Slide the grass bag frame into the grass bag and install the clips as 
shown.

Lift the discharge guard and install the grass bag.

The mower is shipped 
WITHOUT OIL in the 
engine.

A bottle of oil is 
included in the box with 
your mower. Add the 
entire contents of the 
oil bottle into the oil 
filler opening.

All Honda engines are 
run at the factory prior 
to packaging. Most of 
the oil is removed prior 
to shipment; however, 
some oil remains in the 
engine. The amount of 
oil left in the engine 
varies.

If not using the 
supplied oil, add 
enough SAE 10W-30 
API service category 
SJ or later oil to bring 
the oil level between 
the upper and lower 
limit marks on the 
dipstick as shown.

Do not overfill the 
engine with oil. If the 
engine is overfilled, the 
excess oil may get 
transferred to the air cleaner housing and air filter.

After filling the engine with oil, remove the hang tag near the recoil 
starter grip that says “The engine has no oil. A container of oil is in the 
shipping box.”

Before using the lawn mower, all mower operators must read the 
following sections:

• LAWN MOWER SAFETY (page 2)

• CONTROL LOCATIONS (page 4)

• BEFORE OPERATION (page 4)

• OPERATION (page 6)

• MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (page 9)
