Maintaining your equipment will ensure it lasts a long time! Check the video description for important links!

[@DougBrown-vn3ce]

This is one of the best do it yourself videos I've seen. Great Job. The step by step instruction is spot on. Thanks!

[@fondupot]

Thanks a lot!

[@marknicol9405]

Just bought the HRN216, thanks for the tips for winter!

[@fondupot]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching!

[@chrismasters4951]

I kept the old blades and used my knife sharpener without taking them off. The knife sharpening stones are built into a handle with a knuckle guard on it. It made a big difference in the mower being able to mulch the grass.

[@fondupot]

Good idea! I need to sharpen my blades for next season.

[@chrismasters4951]

@@fondupot I think you can get this sharpener on the internet or anywhere just about. It’s a big, white, plastic handle with a blue plastic knuckle guard and has the two diamond stones at a 45 degree angle , just sharpen the blades as you would a knife and in a minute or so you’ll have a really sharp edge and the blades cut sooooo much better.

[@fondupot]

Cool. Thanks. I’ll look into getting one.

[@SeahorseWorkshop]

Nice video. Great details and tips. Good job. Keep it up.

[@fondupot]

Thanks!

[@aidanfgc8312]

Awesome. Great info man!

[@fondupot]

Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching.

[@zhast]

Cool video. The owner's manual for my Honda engine says to run the gas tank dry instead of topping up and adding a stabilizer.

[@fondupot]

You can certainly do that. I didn’t want to waste the fuel that was in there. Adding the fuel stabilizer is just fine. Thanks for watching!

[@donhgr]

Yep, asking for trouble leaving fuel in it over winter, that’s why Manuel says store empty

[@fondupot]

I used stabil the last two winters without issue.

[@fondupot]

@@NoName-gv6nm Every year I've simply just put stabil in the tank, it starts up the next year just fine.

[@chrismasters4951]

Instead of stabilizing the fuel would it be wrong to drain it out then run the mower till it completely runs out then shutting off the fuel line ?

[@fondupot]

No, that works too. Won’t harm anything.

[@madisongriffin7419]

What kind of oil should I put down in the spark plug while just engine oil right?. I want to make sure I do everything perfectly

[@fondupot]

The same oil you use for the engine. Just a little bit.

[@madisongriffin7419]

Ok thank you great video

[@fondupot]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
