You can stop the blades while the motor is still running thanks to Honda’s Roto-Stop Blade Stop System.
When you release the handlebar on conventional zone start mowers, the engine turns off. The mower must be restarted to proceed. Especially if you are bagging, this can be a nuisance.
Roto-Stop prevents the blades from rotating while maintaining engine power. The mower doesn’t need to be restarted!
Roto-Stop is a fantastic convenience for times you need to stop mowing to:
- Carry the mower across gravel or sidewalks.
- Purge the bag.
- Clear any clutter or toys out of the way.
Our HRR216VYA, HRX217HYA, HRX217HZA, and HRC216HXA mowers all come equipped with Roto-Stop.

What functions do blade brakes have?
Blade brake clutch lawn mowers provide a function that many other mowers do not. The mower’s blade brake clutch enables the user to halt the spinning of the blades without shutting off the motor. When you need to empty the bag, cross paved or gravelly walkways, or stop mowing to clear a pathblock, this feature is helpful. You can avoid needing to start the engine more than once during a single mowing session by using a mower with a blade brake clutch.
What does the acronym Honda GCV mean?
Product Power. The all-new GCV Series engines will be on sale in September 2018 for manufacturers (OEMs) of various power products in Europe, according to a statement released by Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today.
Are there clutches on push mowers?
For the blades, some rotary lawn mowers only have one clutch. Despite having an engine, they still need to be pushed. The greatest lawn mowers include two clutches: one linking the motor to the blades and the other to the rear axle.
Additionally, electronic clutches exist. Both smaller electric and larger gas-powered mowers with two sets of blades frequently include them. Power take-off (PTO) clutches are the name given to them.
A magnet is pulled into position inside a coil when a PTO lawn mower clutch is engaged. As a result, an electrical circuit between the engine and the blades is completed. When the magnet is released from the engagement, it moves back outside the coil, and the circuit is said to be broken. No electricity can be supplied to the blades if the circuit is not complete.
Describe the saw brake.
Modern power tools like circular saws, drills, and miter saws all come equipped with an electric motor brake, also known as an electronic brake. This function is often incorporated by manufacturers into instruments that especially have a rotating blade or cutter.
Does my circular saw need an electronic brake?
The safety and fatigue-reducing features that tool manufacturers keep including in their products are increasing. Examples abound, but just to name a few, there are auto lock-on switches, auto lock-off switches, blade guards, and shields. Due to the fact that you can’t see the electric brake, you can take one safety element for granted. An electric brake is a premium feature found on the top circular saws as well as many other saws. Many a blade, wood floor, cable, or even a finger or toe have been saved because to this simple innovation! A piece of wood or other impediment might easily prevent the blade guard from returning to its original position after a cut. On some saws, a blade can keep spinning without an electric stop for at least ten seconds. The blade is stopped by an electronic brake in roughly two seconds. How does the electronic brake on a saw keep you safe then?
What’s the process of an electric clutch?
IntroductionExtremely high torque is delivered in a comparatively compact region using several disk clutches. You can use these clutches either dry or wet (oil bath). The clutches’ ability to dissipate heat while being run in an oil bath also significantly improves it, making them perfect for use with machine tools and multiple speed gearboxes.
What it does
Although they are electrically actuated, multiple disk clutches deliver torque mechanically. The clutch coil turns into an electromagnet and emits magnetic lines of flux when current is passed through it. The little air gap that exists between the field and the rotor allows these lines of flux to pass through. The friction disks and armature are drawn to each other by a magnetic loop that forms when the clutch’s rotor part becomes magnetized. The torque is transferred from the inward inner driver to the outward disks by the compression (squeezing) of the friction disks caused by the attraction of the armature. The drive cup connects the output disks to a gear, coupler, or pulley. Until the input and output RPMs are equal, the clutch slides. Usually, this takes place rather rapidly (0.2 – 2 sec).
The armature is free to rotate with the shaft once the clutch’s current is turned off. When the clutch is not engaged, the friction disks are kept apart from one another by springs, preventing any contact and resulting in the least amount of drag possible.
Can the self-propelled lawn mower be turned off?
A built-in self-propel system that comprises of a number of pulleys, a small transmission, and a belt drive is found on many walk-behind or push mowers. By disconnecting the drive belt that connects the transmission to the main shaft of the lawn mower’s engine, you can quickly disconnect or disable the self-propel mechanism on your mower.
To turn off the mower’s engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug. This stops the mower from starting accidentally as you work close to the blade.
Using a screwdriver, remove the bolts holding the transmission cover to the mower’s top. Put the lid in a side position. The primary transmission housing and pulley are then visible.
Find the setscrew that connects the pulley and the transmission. Pull up on the drive belt that is fastened to the pulley while rotating it counterclockwise. Once you can remove the belt from the pulley, stop turning the setscrew.
Turn the mower so that the air cleaner is facing up. As a result, gasoline cannot enter the air cleaner.
Pull the belt through the mower deck’s access hole, and then take it off the pulley that is positioned between the mower deck’s base and the mower blade. Remove the nut holding the blade to the main shaft, remove the blade and belt, and then reinstall the blade if you are unable to get the belt through the blade.
Reposition the mower onto its wheels before using your screwdriver and the original screws to reattach the transmission cover.
What distinguishes the Honda GS and GC engines from one another?
The GS utilizes the same fundamental OHC architecture as Honda’s hugely well-liked GC engines and includes uniblock construction and a distinctive internal timing belt design to produce the lightest and most compact package in its class.
A Honda GCV—is it a four-stroke?
15 April 1997 in Tokyo The GC160/135 and GCV160/135 families of compact, multi-purpose 4 stroke OHC engines were unveiled today by Honda Motor Co., Ltd. At prices that are competitive with the rest of the world, these engines offer class-leading lightweight construction, low operating noise, clean exhaust emissions, and overall economy. On July 1st, the GCV160 will go on sale at all Honda power product dealers across the country, and on August 1st, the GC160 will do the same. On October 1st, the last batch of GC/GCV135 engines will be released onto the market.
This GC/GCV engine series was created to compete with the vertical type engines with side valve combustion chambers now dominating the 12 million unit, largely home-use, tiny, lightweight tool market. Two vertical engines (GCV160/135) and two horizontal, multi-purpose variants (GC160/135) make up this engine series, which consists of a family of four engines.
- Engines of the vertical type have a vertical power pick-up shaft. This type of engine, which is positioned on its side, is ideal for lawn mowers and other similar items.
- Engines of the horizontal type have a horizontal power pick-up shaft. Most commonly encountered in other pumps and multipurpose fixed type electric power supply machinery.
- Based on the angle of the PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft, vertical and horizontal varieties are differentiated from one another.
This new engine series adds class-leading lightweight construction, quiet operation, easy start-up, outstanding fuel economy, and low emission levels (passing the strict CARB/EPA requirements) at very competitive prices to the same kind of performance that has won the approval of many professional users for the air-cooled, OHV, GX engine series.
The OHC construction of this engine series, which incorporates an internal timing belt, and its “Uni-block cylinder” structure both represent several exclusive world first technology. Lawn mowers and other household tools can be powered by these environmentally friendly, human-centered engines.
The following describe this new engine series’ primary traits:
- Engines can now be made that are both light and inexpensive because to the adoption of a Uni-block Cylinder architecture, an oblique-split crankcase structure, and extensive part commonality and integration between the vertical and horizontal versions.
- The valves in the combustion chamber could be placed in the best possible location thanks to the use of an OHC structure that was lightweight, low-noise, and featured an internal timing belt.
- Adoption of horizontal cross-flow ports and a new mechanical decompressor allowed for simple start-up operations.
- A small OHC design and bath-tub-style combustion chamber were paired with the same horizontal cross-flow ports to create the foundation for high maximum power and flat torque characteristics, as well as low fuel consumption and clean exhaust emissions.
Plans for these four engines call for combined annual sales of 1 million units globally starting in 1998 and beyond, even though this four-model strong GC/GCV engine series won’t see the market for a while (on-board units included).
Do Honda GC engines work well?
Although designed for domestic usage, the GC Series is as bit as dependable as anything made by Honda. This motor, which is typically found in pressure washers, tillers, and water pumps, is simple to use if you know how to operate and maintain it.
Less mess
You don’t want to glance back and find a mass of grass clippings laying across your freshly cut grass after putting in all that effort to mow the lawn. Your yard won’t look dirty if you bag your lawn clippings. It improves the curb appeal of your house and gives your grass a polished appearance. Using a mower with a bagging attachment makes it simple to keep the yard free of grass cuttings.
In addition to avoiding some inside housekeeping, leaving grass clippings on your lawn might result in clumps of grass being brought inside your home by children and pets.
