IMPORTANT INFORMATION

INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING

HRR216K9VLA • HRX217K4VLA • HRX217K4HZA Lawn Mowers

This lawn mower is equipped with a self-charging electric start system that charges the battery while the engine is running.

If the electric starter does not start the engine, the battery may need to be recharged. To charge the battery, use the recoil starter to start the engine for at least one mowing session or more depending on the battery’s charge level. In most cases, this will allow the battery to charge enough for the electric starter to operate. The battery’s discharge rate is approximately 4% per month when the lawn mower is not used.

An optional 120 volt AC battery charger (Part #: 31570-VL0-W01) is available from authorized Honda Power Equipment dealers to recharge a low battery. Do not use an automotive style battery charger as it will damage the battery. Refer to the Owner’s Manual.

If you have further questions or experience difficulties with the electric start system, please contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer. To find a dealer near you, visit our website powerequipment.honda.com
