When checking oil level ...Do not screw the dip stick back in...only rest it on the lip of the filler tube . (as per page 32 point 3 of Honda manual.)

If you put a 4x4 post on the side of the wheels that you are tipping onto, you create a high enough clearance to not pour oil all over your mower deck. You then can leave it to drain for a few minutes.

Just a tip, when you measure the oil you are not supposed to screw it in, you just pull it out, clean it and put it back in without screwing it, leave for a second or two then read it.

Blowing out the filter with a compressor pokes tiny little holes in the element. Just tap out and replace when too dirty.

I wouldn’t run it dry. I would just get it low enough and then turn it off. Then tip the mower over and drain the rest of the duel out. Let the mower cool off before you try that though. Thanks for watching!

I got a HRA215 from my Dad. It hadn't been ran in 5+ years, but I put some ethanol free 4 cycle gas in and it was starting 1st pull. I replaced the pull cord, turned it on its side and replaced the blade . flipped it back flat, and now the pull cord won't budge. I removed the pull cord and spark plug and turned the motor with a 19mm ratchet. It's very hard to turn, but isn't frozen. Any advice on what might be bound up?

@fondupot 3 жыл бұрын

It’s possible since it sat so long the motor seized. You can try to free it up by rocking the blade back and forth. Make sure you remove the spark plug before doing this. Also make sure it has fresh oil.

@MH-gy6qv 3 жыл бұрын

2 days ago it started first pull. Before I replaced the pull cord bc it was frayed, it was still spinning freely. After putting it on it side and replacing the blade, it became very hard to turn. Going to remove the blade tonight and check out the blade brake clutch.

@fondupot 3 жыл бұрын

After you remove the blades. See if you can spin the motor freely. If its still hard it might be something internal in the motor.

@MH-gy6qv 3 жыл бұрын

Took the blade off and it fired first pull. Put it back on and acted like it's seized. Took the clutch pack off and couldn't get it compressed back on. May need to take it to a shop, but at least I know its not seized.

does the fuel filter have to be replaced on these mowers?

Can’t hurt. There’s a fuel filter in the fuel line coming off the gas tank. I was going to replace mine this year but I ended up selling the mower because I have a much larger yard now and use a zero turn.

@@seeul8rwaynekerr The owners manual doesn't specify anything for checking valve lash. It is likely a non-issue unless a mower is not well maintained or abused.
