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 (with optional mulching plug)
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.
Bagging
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 may be
purchased from an authorized servicing
Honda dealer.
