Unpacking And Assembly; Connecting The Battery - Honda HF2315 Manual Del Operador

HOW TO RECOGNIZE YOUR MACHINE
Preparation, use and maintenance of a range of machines with many
differing features are described in this manual. It is therefore impor-
tant to clearly identify your machine's model in order to following all
of the information regarding it.
Your machine's model is indicated on the "identification label" in
point 4 and is composed of a series of letters and numbers.
In the following pages of this manual, the model or models to which
operations refer are indicated beforehand. The absence of any indi-
cation means it is valid for all models.
2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
Various main components can be seen on the machine, and these
have the following functions:
1. Cutting-means assembly: this is the casing that houses the
rotating cutting means.
2. Cutting means: these are what cut the grass; the fins at the
ends help convey the cut grass towards the discharge chute.
3. Discharge chute: this is the part connecting the cutting-me-
ans assembly to the grass catcher.
4. Grass catcher: as well as collecting the grass cuttings, this is
also a safety element that stops any objects drawn up by the
cutting devices from being hurled away from the machine.
5. Rear discharge guard (available upon request): this can
be fitted in place of the grass catcher and prevents objects
from being drawn up by the cutting means and hurled away
from the machine.
6. Engine: this moves the cutting means and drives the wheels.
Its specifications and regulations for use are described in a
specific manual.
7. Battery: provides the energy for starting the engine. Its spe-
ci fi cations and regulations for use are described in a specific
manual.
8. Driver seat: this is where the machine operator sits. It has a
sensor for detecting the presence of the operator which is a
sa fety device.
9. Decals for regulations and safety: give reminders on the
main provisions for working safely, each of which is explained
in chapter 1.
10. Inspection hatch: for access to make several adjustments.

3. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

For storage and transport reasons, some components of the machine
are not directly installed in the factory, but have to be assembled af-
ter their removal from the packing. Final assembly is carried out by
following these simple instructions.
