Useful Innovation Soichiro Honda once said “We only have one future and it will be made of our dreams, if we have the courage to challenge convention”. Since 1948, when the Honda Motor Corporation was formed, we have lived by this philosophy. Always challenging the status quo, always asking questions, always learning. Endeavouring to make the impossible possible. And big dreams produced a massive future. Today, Honda produces innovative and reliable products for almost every application – from lawnmowers to corporate jets. With every product designed to make life more joyful for you and less impactful to the planet. Where will our dreams take us next? Blue Skies for our Children Ever wished for a world where our children can enjoy a free and sustainable future? At Honda, this vision is nothing new for us. As pioneers of environmental technologies, our engineers have been exploring ways to make it happen for the past 40 years. Today, sustainability is still top of our agenda. By 2020 we have pledged to cut CO2 emissions by 30% from all our global products, equipments and corporate activities. HondaJet We have always done things differently at Honda. Pursuing our dreams has always been central to what we do and has led us to explore new innovations. HondaJet was born from the power of these dreams, breaking with conventional aerospace thinking and incorporating many unique and revolutionary ideas. We designed a jet that maximises comfort and space without increasing its size, by mounting the engines over the wings instead of at the rear of the fuselage as most business jets. This may sound a little odd, but in fact it is totally logical because this layout means the rear of the fuselage no longer has to be designed to house and support the engines. This has helped to maximise internal space. This configuration also allows faster flight speeds than other aircraft of its class, as well as greater fuel efficiency and significant improvement in aerodynamic performance by reducing drag. ASIMO What if we could create products that can help with important tasks like assisting the elderly or a person confined to a wheelchair? Or perform tasks that are dangerous to humans, such as fighting fires or cleaning up toxic spills? Back in 1986, our engineers made this dream a reality when they created ASIMO: the world’s most advanced humanoid robot. ASIMO cleverly recreates human motion to walk and run on slopes and uneven surfaces. It can make smooth turns, climb stairs and pick up objects. ASIMO can even respond to simple voice commands and recognise the faces of a select group of individuals. And using its camera eyes, ASIMO can even skillfully map its environment to navigate around stationary and moving objects. Robotic Lawnmower As one of the world leaders in lawn mower technology and advanced robotics, doesn’t it make sense that our first commercial robotic product is a lawnmower? Miimo is designed to fit right into your life – and make it better. This capable robot works around your family schedule, taking care of your lawn so you can focus on the more important things in life. Minimum output from you means maximum output from Miimo, with automatic recharging and durable blades to keep it going for even longer. What’s more, Miimo cuts down garden waste and improves the health of your lawn by recycling the grass shavings back into the ground. Everything we have learnt developing HondaJet will go into everything else we do, leading us to new innovations, new ideas and new directions. After all, who knows where you could go if you just let your imagination take flight. FCX Clarity What if we could build a car with zero emissions? For more than two decades, our engineers have looked for ways to challenge conventional thinking on how to make cars. Powered by an electric motor, the FCX Clarity emits no CO 2. Since we unveiled our first fuel cell vehicle in 1999, we’ve brought the innovative FCX right from the lab to the fleet and now, to the public. Motorcycles Wouldn’t motorcycles be better if designers focused on the rider rather than the machine? For example, instead of thinking “How can we improve the brakes?” Honda ask “How can a braking system compensate for a rider’s panic-driven reactions in an emergency without affecting normal braking feel?” We use this process to create machines that not only win MotoGPs but also perform perfectly on the daily commute. What’s more, all the knowledge is shared, from 1800cc Grand Tourers like the Gold Wing to 50cc Scooters like the Vision 50. 03 04 Our lawnmower range Lawnmowers Over 30 years of constant innovation. It was back in September 1978 when we launched our very first Honda lawnmower in Europe. Standard 2-stroke technology dominated the market, providing noisy, dirty engines that were difficult to maintain. So we fitted our 53cm lawnmowers with ground breaking Honda 4-stroke engines, setting new standards of performance, reliability and safety, but we didn’t stop with the engine. Our aim has always been to constantly improve in all areas of design, so we built in hard-wearing durability and long-lasting performance at every stage of the process, from cast iron cylinder sleeves and ball bearings to support the crankshaft to aerodynamic cutter decks with nylon grass bags for improved airflow and more efficient collection. Our patented Roto-stop® feature is our latest benchmark in design, providing complete safety and peace of mind by allowing users to stop the blades turning without switching the engine off.

There are so many different lawnmowers and, if you’re not used to the technology, choosing the right one for you can seem a little tricky. So we’ve created this simple guide to get you started. What cutter deck size should you choose? What product range should you focus on? What features should you look for? Just follow the three steps below and you will be able to find the right product for you and your garden in no time. What garden do you have? Your garden complexity and the level of comfort you wish to get will define the features you might be looking for in a lawnmower. Honda lawnmowers are available as push models or self-propelled, either single speed or with SMART Drive®, Select Drive and Hydrostatic drive, offering variable speed. The information below will help you decide on the model you need depending on the type of garden you have. To discover other Honda features go to page 7, and to see specifications and characteristics of our line-up go to pages 29-32. 05 Blade size Your blade size effects the time it takes to cover an area and how often you need to empty the grass bag. The general rule is: the bigger the lawn the bigger the blade size required. Lawnmower blade sizes (cm): 33, 37, 41, 46, 47, 53, 61 Lawn tractor and ride-on blade sizes (cm): 71, 92, 102, 122 SMALL AND COMPLEX GARDENS MEDIUM/LARGE OPEN AREA GARDENS The garden is small (under 300m2), without slopes (<5%) or uneven ground. It may be complex: with bushes, trees, flower beds and borders. For this type of garden you need a lightweight lawnmower with good manoeuvrability. Our recommendation is a push model. The garden has open space areas with some uneven ground, gentle slopes (>5%) and without any confined areas. You may want to choose a self-propelled lawnmower that can easily cope with a difficult environment. Our recommendation is a single speed self-propelled model. MEDIUM/LARGE COMPLEX GARDENS MULTI-GROUND AND MULTI-SIZE GARDENS The garden is complex with an abundance of trees, shrubs, flower beds and paths. A self-propelled model, where you can vary the forward speed to cut accurately and safely around many obstacles, would be ideal. Our recommendation is a self-propelled model with SMART Drive® or Select Drive. The garden is a patchwork of different grass areas with medium and large open spaces and few confined areas. To manage all of these different areas you will need to vary a fixed mowing speed. Our recommendation is a self-propelled model with Select Drive or Hydrostatic transmission. 06 More about Honda innovations Lawnmower key features From simple differences, like a rear roller, to innovative ideas never seen before on a lawnmower, like Versamow™, Honda lawnmowers come with a range of features that make a real difference. Look for these icons throughout the brochure to help you find the product that’s right for you. Roto-stop® blade brake clutch Stops the blades but leaves the engine running while you empty the grassbag, or move across driveways with self-propelled models. All our latest technology explained in simple terms. Creating new ideas to improve our products doesn’t always mean re-inventing the wheel. Sometimes it’s just looking at things that already work well. At Honda we believe in constantly striving to improve. It’s this spirit of self-challenge and our passion for overcoming problems that allows us to create even more innovative ideas. So, whether it’s making our products safer, making them more environmentally friendly, making them easier and more pleasurable to use or simply helping your lawn to grow and flourish, you can rely on us to keep thinking of new ways to help you achieve your perfect lawn. Versamow™ variable mulching system Variable mulching allows you to select the amount of mulch that is blown down into the lawn, allowing you to ensure the right amount of fertiliser and avoid an excess of thatch. Engine pro spec Electric start Simple and convenient, the electric key start ignition makes starting your lawnmower even easier and is fitted in addition to the standard recoil pull-start. All our professional engines are Over-Head Valve (OHV) and feature: cast iron cylinder sleeve, bearing set on the crankshaft, high capacity air filter and steel fan cover. Roto-stop® blade brake clutch Variable Speed Technologies Roto-stop is one of many Honda patents. It works as a clutch and allows you to engage and disengage the blade without stopping the engine. It also works as a brake when emptying the grass bag, removing obstacles or crossing a gravel path, meaning you do not need to restart the engine afterwards and keeping you safe. Safety is of paramount importance with Honda lawnmowers. Self-propelled lawn mowers make mowing the lawn easier, of which Honda has three variable speed technologies: SMART Drive®, Select Drive and Hydrostatic drives. ® Low noise Auto-choke The intelligent auto-choke system automatically sets the choke to give optimum starting and running in all conditions. Versamow™ selective mulching system With a single lever, Honda’s Versamow™ system will either collect the grass cuttings into the bag or finely shred and blow them down into the lawn to create a natural fertiliser. Roto-stop® Our R&D team have designed a patented low noise blade (-0.5dB(A)) compared to traditional blades. With a combination of engine and cutter deck design, its noise level is 30% under the current EU standard. Rear roller SMART Drive® is designed to give you fingertip control allowing you to adjust the speed control for greater accuracy. The all-new Select Drive additionally allows you to set a constant speed for relaxed mowing with increased comfort. In demanding conditions the Hydrostatic drive is still unmatched and gives you greatest accuracy and a smooth stepless speed control. Models with a rear roller give your lawn that classic striped effect. A rear roller offers greater machine balance and control when cutting around the edge of your lawn. Optiflow A fan powered system under the cutter deck that improves air flow between the cutter deck and the high air flow grass bag. It significantly improves collecting performance of the lawnmower. ersamow™ variable V mulching system Auto-choke Versamow™ integrated mulching system For the best results when mulching, grass clippings must be small enough to access the root of the plant and minimise the thatch formation. So, our R&D team has developed MicroCut, a system that uses two blades, cutting the grass twice to ensure clippings are as small as possible. The quantity of clippings also needs to be carefully adjusted to avoid clipping accumulation that suffocates the grass (yellow marks) and produces an excess of thatch. Versamow™ selective mulching system allows you to switch from grass collecting to mulching without needing any tools. The more advanced Versamow™ variable mulching system uses an adjustable window between the cutting area and the grass bag. By gradually opening or closing the window, you can control the quantity of grass you collect and then avoid an excess of grass being dropped. So, if your grass is long because you haven’t had the time to mow, just open the window to 100% for full grass collection. Optiflow 07 Low noise Model shown is a HRX. Honda engines As pioneers in premium 4-stroke carburettor engines, Honda is the no.1 worldwide engine manufacturer in this class.

Optiflow Engine pro spec A fan powered system under the cutter deck improves air flow between the cutter deck and the high air flow grass bag. It significantly improves collecting performance of the Lawn Tractor. Electric grass dump The grass bag is opened and assisted with an electric motor at the touch of a switch. These engines are specifically designed for heavy and professional use. They are Over-Head Valve (OHV) with extra features to cope with heavy use and include a cast iron cylinder sleeve, bearing set supporting the crankshaft, high capacity air filter and steel fan cover. Synchronous blade cut Both blades have an overlapping cutting area to create accurate mowing and avoid any uncut areas when turning. Versamow™ selective mulching system With a single lever, Honda’s Versamow™ system will either collect the grass cuttings into the bag or finely shred and blow them down into the lawn to create a natural fertiliser. Versamow™ Electric grass dump system Engine pro spec Optiflow 33 Synchronous blades Model shown is the HF 2622 HT. 34 More about ride-on innovations Our latest technology explained. Creating new ideas to improve our products doesn’t always mean re-inventing the wheel. Sometimes it’s just looking at things that already work well and improving them a little. So the innovations you’ll find in our Ride-on models are constantly evolving to provide true excellence. Whether it’s designing a more efficient engine or adding additional protection for your safety. Synchronised blade belt system Optiflow The key to good grass collecting performance is a powerful and controlled air flow. So our Research and Development (R&D) team developed Honda Optiflow, a system that combines powerful suction with controlled and low turbulence air flow that reduces power loss, noise and grass accumulation. See below the four simple and incredibly efficient innovations developed by our R&D engineers: 1 Air intake maximised A standard cutter deck is normally closed and confined, but our R&D team calculated that the Honda engine’s power was able to draw in more air when it was open. So they added more holes into the top of the cutter deck to maximise the air intake. Lawn tractor and ride-on mower features With our Honda lawn tractors and ride-on mowers you can sit back and comfortably take care of your lawn. There are two kinds of cutter decks: one with asynchronous blades and one with synchronous blades. Cutter decks with asynchronous blades use two independent unsynchronised blades that are slightly offset. Cutter decks with synchronous blades use two blades that are synchronised with a timing belt to keep a constant 90 degree angle. The benefits of a synchronous system are a constant cutting performance to avoid uncut areas, even when turning and better air flow under the cutter deck resulting in optimised grass collecting and a lower risk of clogging. Synchronous cutter deck design Honda intelligent monitoring* 3 Grass ejection Following vigorous testing R&D designed a large cone shaped ejection chute, tuned for top performance. Considerable time was spent developing this chute to remove the risk of clogging and to provide top bagging performance in the lawn tractor market. The larger the grass bag mesh the greater the air flow, thus enabling you to completely fill the grass bag. With the patented “flamenco dress” style, the Honda grass bag mesh is the largest size mesh on the market, maintaining the continuity of powerful air flow to completely fill the grass bag. ocation guides and arrow L markings provide right firsttime assembly. Optional trailer hitch kit A full LED diagnostic electronic dashboard provides the operator with all key information, for superior safety and performance. 2 Acceleration 4 Grass bag mesh Improves the reliability of the whole driving system and protects it from potential damage caused by driving through holes, up curbs or heavy transportation conditions. Easy grass bag assembly Asynchronous cutter deck design Two fans (fixed onto each rotating blade) draw air through the holes in the top of the cutter deck. This accelerated air is guided by the fan guards into the ejection canal intake and blows the cut grass into the chute. * Cast iron front axle Automatic lights Depending on the light level, headlights switch on or off automatically. (Not available on HF 2315 SB) Versamow™ selective mulching system With a single lever, Honda’s Versamow™ selective mulching system will either collect the grass cuttings into the bag or finely shred and blow them down into the lawn to create a natural fertiliser. If your grass is long or rough, you can mow your garden and collect grass clipping in one passage. If your grass has grown for a week or it just rained and you wish to keep your garden tidy, you can choose to mulch and then easily fertilise your grass. Or you can keep your grass tidy and collect the clippings around your house and then do a rough cut in other areas of the garden. Whatever you decide, you can do it in one push, no mulching kit to add, nothing to bolt in. The Honda engine Honda is not only the world’s no.1 engine manufacturer, we are also pioneers in premium 4-stroke engines and excel in V-twin engine technology. Reliability, performance and cleaner exhaust gas emissions are the hallmark of Honda engines and we are proud to have been entrusted by private customers, professional users and industrial manufacturers throughout the world. So, it’s no wonder that our lawn tractor engines provide a high specification. Each model includes: Low pressure wheel patch yre specifications T have been designed to optimise even weight distribution of the lawn tractor. This results in no lawn damage or wheel marks after 24 hours. Rear ejection deflector Front bumper with steel plates* Instead of attaching the grass bag you can attach a deflector that drops clippings directly onto the ground. Protects exhaust and pulley/belt from bushes and high grass. Electromagnetic blade clutch* Engagement and braking are combined in one electronically controlled system. This ensures better braking performance for increased safety and does not cause extra wearing to parts compared to a standard mechanical clutch. Anti-scalp rollers Two rollers at the front and two at the back of the cutter deck avoid scalping the lawn over undulating ground. Cataphoresis treated cutter deck This treatment is applied to the cutter deck prior to the painting process to provide a double anti-rust protection. Easy to clean cutter deck By attaching a hosepipe to the hose wash nozzle inlet in the deck and engaging the blade, you can clean the underside of the cutter deck without the need to lift the lawn tractor. • A decompressor for easy start and easy restart • Better fuel economy and lowest emissions in the industry 35 In addition, our professional specification engines are Over-Head Valve (OHV) with additional technology for heavy duty use that include a cast iron cylinder sleeve, bearing set supporting the crankshaft, a high capacity air filter and steel fan cover. * This feature is available on all premium models.

Miimo can tackle virtually any type, shape and size of garden, navigating smoothly around features like ponds, swimming pools and trees. Your lawn might have areas that need extra care, or you might use certain areas for entertaining friends or playing with the children. Either way, Miimo can be set up to suit your garden and lifestyle. Whatever type of garden you have, one of our versatile Miimo models can fit right in with your life. Complex gardens Uniform boundaries Complex gardens often feature uneven boundaries, slopes and fixed obstacles like trees and water features. Gardens with straighter and squarer edges are easier to navigate, even if they still have slopes and fixed obstacles. Our recommendation is Miimo 520 Our recommendation is Miimo 310 Miimo works to your timetable Setting mowing patterns Flexible Miimo benefits from a ‘zone management’ feature which can be set at installation. For example, you could set Miimo to work in one area of your garden in the morning, breaking to let you enjoy an alfresco lunch with friends, before moving on to longer grass areas that need more attention in the late afternoon. And if you don’t need the zone management feature, you can still set low-noise Miimo to work unobtrusively at times that suit you – even right through the night. A random mowing pattern (1) is most effective for mowing large areas of grass with obstacles and complex borders. A directional mowing pattern (2) is most suitable for mowing open areas with simple, uniform boundaries and minimal obstacles. Miimo also offers the option of a mix of random and directional cutting. Speak to your Miimo authorised dealer for set-up options to suit you. 43 Setting up Miimo couldn’t be simpler.

Honda portable technology. The world’s first 4-stroke handheld range delivers smooth responsive power with low emissions. All of our models feature industry first GX25 and GX35 mini 4-stroke engines, innovative design and Honda build quality. Honda is proud to present its two 4-stroke micro-engines the GX25 (25cc) and GX35 (35cc). As a result of many years of long research and improvements, today these engines are the lightest and most compact engines of their kind. Incredibly reliable, GX25 and GX35 are built to Honda professional specification with bearings supporting the crankshafts and high capacity air filters. Both engines also feature unique, patented systems, including a rotary slinger pumping lubrication system for constant fuel supply, enabling a freedom of operation in every direction and an accelerator pump-equipped carburettor which provides a boost as soon as you push the throttle. Brushcutters Hedgetrimmers Why choose 4-stroke? Proud of our 25cc and 35cc micro-engines, we developed the next generation of brushcutters. Combining comfort of use and reliability, discover the full Honda range including Bent shaft, Straight shaft loop type handle or bike type handle brushcutters and our incredibly handy Backpack version. Honda 4-stroke hedgetrimmers are ideal workmates when tending large gardens and parks. The HHH 25 models are equally suited to shaping or heavy trimming with ergonomic, vibration reducing controls, allowing you to work more comfortably, for longer. Here are five reasons why you should choose 4-stroke technology: See page 58 Ease of start-up is achieved using the mechanical decompression system combined with a superlightweight flywheel, which results in a very easy starter rope pull weight of 7.2kg. See pages 51 - 54 1. Ease of start-up 2. Comfortable tone exhaust and low engine noise A deeper comfortable tone has been achieved thanks to a belt driven Over-Head Valve design (reducing mechanical noise), a large capacity, multi-chamber exhaust system (reducing exhaust noise) and a sophisticated air intake system (reducing high speed air flow intake noise). 3. Easy preparation and maintenance With a 4-stroke engine, there is no need to pre-mix oil and fuel. Just fill the fuel tank with petrol. We recommend changing the engine oil every 50 hours for good performance. 4. Great fuel economy with convenient long use between filling Excellent fuel economy makes using Honda GX25 and GX35 machines efficient due to low fuel consumption and optimised fuel tank sizes. Fuel consumption at the maximum power Honda GX25 0.54 litre/hour at 7000 RPM at rated power Honda GX35 0.71 litre/hour at 7000 RPM at rated power Honda micro-engines GX25 and GX35 are fitted with fuel tanks of 0.58 and 0.63 litres respectively. 5. Low clean emissions Unlike catalyst exhausts our 4-stroke does not require a warm up to reach peak emission performance and the clean 4-stroke combustion provides little carbon build up, eliminating the requirement for regular decoking and minimising particulate emissions. 4-stroke blower Keeping the garden neat and tidy has never been easier with the first 4-stroke blower in the world. When fallen leaves spread across the lawn, decking or garden paths, this new Honda product helps get things in order in record time.

Hedgetrimmer Pruner 3 tooth blade Heavy duty transmission head The transmission is cast in aluminium which offers better shock resistance compared to the traditional metal processed frames. It is precision engineered for minimum clearance between rotating parts providing the best possible dust proof system. See page 55 for more information on attachments Non-contact sealing bearing Used by NASA, these bearings provide the best dust proof resistance for high speed applications. Contact with the rotating part is avoided so the seal does not get hot compared to traditional full contact rubber bearing sealing with drastically decreased lifetime and dust proof performance.

Power Take Off (PTO) For extra manoeuvrability, the transport wheel helps you move the tiller seamlessly between storage and work areas – even over curbs and up hills. Gearbox PTO draws power from the engine and makes it easy to connect and disconnect powered attachments to your tiller to make heavy jobs like hulling, spraying and mowing quicker. Counter-rotating tines More gears means greater flexibility and power. The gearbox transfers the ideal power and torque to work the machine, letting you pick the perfect speed to match your pace. By rotating the tines in the opposite direction to each other the tiller becomes very balanced and easy to control, effortlessly breaking up the hardest soil quicker and more efficiently.

That’s why we appoint our Honda Authorised Dealers with as much care as we build into our products. Look for the seal of quality when you buy your Honda, or call 0845 200 8000** and we’ll find the closest to you. For years, we’ve built our Power Equipment range around our clean Honda 4-stroke engine technology. That’s because we’re committed to making our products as user-friendly, fuel-efficient and reliable as we can – all without compromising performance. Class-leading 4-stroke principles still drive many of our products, but we’re always pushing the boundaries with innovative newcomers like Miimo, our battery-powered robot mower that, between brief charges from your electrical supply, can be programmed to run anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At Honda, we’ve harnessed our design and technology expertise to create a versatile repertoire of power products from generators, water pumps and tillers to marine engines, inflatable boats and snowthrowers.
