Honda Lawn Mower HRS216K6 PKAA Engine Removal
Background and Identification
Honda Lawn Mower model HRS216K6 PKAA is a side-discharge push mower made by Honda. It includes a Honda GCV160 engine that is certified to meet 50-state EPA and CARB emission levels (this means that the mower meets the California Air Resources Board’s and Environmental Protection Agency’s rules and regulations for air pollution).
The HRS216K6 PKAA model also includes Honda’s automatic choke system, so the engine does not require choke. This means that the operator can simply start the mower and start cutting. It also includes a flywheel brake safety system that stops the engine when the operator releases the flywheel brake lever. The HRS216K6 PKAA model features a manual fuel shut-off valve that allows for transport, storage, and maintenance.
The mower weighs 66 pounds and cuts a 21-inch-wide swath of grass. The mower has six cutting height options ranging from 1-inch and 3.5-inches. Its deck is made of 16 gauge steel. The mower includes four eight-inch plastic wheels with ball bearings.
The HRS216K6 PKAA model can be identified by its dark grey body and red engine cover. The name “Honda” is printed at the front of the engine cover and of the steel deck. A white sticker on the side of the engine cover has more identifying information, including the model number.
