The new Honda Izy HRG 466 SK EP lawn mower features Honda's latest Euro-5 compliant, four-stroke GCVx145 engine producing 145cc. These new engines offer enhanced combustion by creating stronger turbulence inside the chamber, while also being more tolerant to lower quality fuels. All Honda Izys have a new Auto Choke system, offering improved temperature sensing and choke optimisation, for easier starting in the most challenging conditions.

The new range also includes easier access to serviceable parts such as the oil drain and spark plug, a much larger fuel filler cap, and tool-free access to the air filter.

The Honda Izy HRG 466SK EP is expressly designed to get the mowing job done as quickly as possible. The new HRG 466 SKEP model is ideal for medium-sized gardens up to 1,200m² (1-2 tennis courts). Honda has made life a little Izy-er for all lawn lovers with the launch of its new class leading Izy lawnmower range. Significant revisions to the second generation Honda Izy model line-up include a redesigned blade which significantly improves ‘cut and collect’ performance as well as reducing noise by 30 per cent. To achieve this, Honda engineers spent six months performing extensive air-flow studies completely redesigning the blade from a clean sheet of paper. Other significant revisions include the introduction of a new auto choke system. Maximising on decades of marine experience, engineers have developed a device based upon technology found on Honda outboards, which allows the engine to operate with optimum efficiency in all conditions

The HRG 466 SK EP lawnmowers have a simple Versamow™ selective mulching switch that opens or closes a door at the back of the cutter deck.

With the exit from the cutter deck open, the cuttings go straight into the collection bag as normal, when no mulching is required. With the mulching switch on, the door is closed, the fine clippings drop down and settle around the grass roots, creating a natural fertiliser.

The Honda Izy HRG466 SKEP lawn mower is a 18" (46cm) self-powered machine and is perfect for the medium to larger lawn, or where there are lots of obstacles, bushes or trees to cut around. With Izy, intuitive operation means there is nothing to learn. Petrol and oil levels are easy to verify.

The pull start is specially designed to be virtually effortless. Flexible, double-lined cables make adjustments easier and more precise.

Features:

• Self-Propelled
  No more pushing. Let this 18" powered Izy lawn mower do all the work for you!
• Versamow™ Selective Mulching
  Makes it easy to choose whether or not you'd like to mulch or mow your grass - 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.
• Powerful and reliable 145 GCVx145 engine
  Overhead cam design and powerful torque across a wide RPM range. Easy to start.
• Folding handle
  Allows storage in the smallest of spaces.
• Easy on the environment
  Economical, clean, powerful and reliable 4-stroke engine and quieter blade design gives new Izy a 30% reduction in noise.
• Easy starting
  Auto Choke System ensures the perfect start even in cold weather.
• Adjustable cut
  Easy to adjust lever gives you a choice of six cutting heights.
• Easy-to-manoeuvre
  Thanks to double ball-bearings and extra-wide no-slip wheels manoeuvrability is easier than ever.
• Durable deck
  High quality, durable steel cutter deck. The rounded design also provides optimal airflow for outstanding grass collection, as well as easy cleaning with no nooks and crannies for wet grass to stick to.
• Easy cutting
  Easy starting, high torque engine means reduced risk of clogging of grass, no matter how thick it is.
• Easy-to-empty
  Large 50 litre capacity grass bag means fewer trips to the emptying area. A built-in rear shield drops down to protect your legs when the bag is removed.

The HRG466SK EP comes with a large 50 litre grass bag meaning less trips to empty as you mow. When you do empty the collection bag there is a built-in rear shield which drops down when the bag is removed to protect the users legs.

About Honda Izy Lawn Mowers

THE STRENGTH OF STEEL

The cutter deck is built tough to go on and on. Our manufacturing process adds all round strength to the cutter deck, because it’s formed in a press from a single sheet of steel. Then we paint it with a powder coating process that leaves a tough, durable finish that’s resistant to corrosion and UV ray deterioration.

Strong handles

The handles are fixed to the cutter deck by a strong supporting arms at the side and won't flex or bend during use. They can be quickly fixed into position when you need to start work, or folded down to save space when stored away in the shed or garage.

THE FANTASTIC 4-STROKE

Honda was first to use this type of engine on lawnmowers and it still can't be beaten.

With years of experience and research building engines, we’ve designed a light 4-stroke motor that sits at the heart of the IZY mowers. It delivers solid, reliable power with lower and cleaner emissions. It has an auto choke system, which adopts the same technology you’ll find in Honda cars and motorbikes.

Green economy

The engines are the lightest and most compact of their type. They’re incredibly easy to start because of a super-light flywheel and a new soft grip recoil handle for added comfort. Both features make sure the job isn't like an unplanned gym workout!

The low maintenance, 4-stroke engines avoid the messy business of mixing oil and fuel usually associated with a 2-stroke. They are less messy and less noisy, always start and fuel economy is much better too.

IT FUELS AND FEELS RIGHT

NO SPILLS MEANS NO DEAD GRASS AND NO MESS. THIS ERGONOMIC FILLER CAP IS EASY TO REMOVE WITH A TWIST.

IZY AIRFLOW

All IZY mowers have high airflow collection bags.

As the rotating blade cuts the grass it generates the airflow, which is important for the collecting process. The low air pressure creates a vacuum effect – literally sucking up the clippings – directing them through to the collection bag at the rear.

Dust free

We created a special material for our collection bags that start at 50-litres, through to a huge 73-litres capacity, depending on which mower you choose. Made with an ultra-fine mesh they maximise the collecting process without affecting the airflow and can stop even the finest dust particles from getting through. You won’t find a cleaner and more efficient system anywhere.

0% less noise means it's IZY-er to live with

As with all Honda products, protecting the environment is always an important consideration. With noise pollution regulations spreading throughout Europe, noise reduction is a key item for consumers of petrol lawnmowers.

Sticking to its core 'Izy' concept, noise levels have been reduced from 96 dB(A) to an impressive 94 dB(A). This has been achieved by making significant changes to the blade tips which now include the introduction of slots. The cutter deck tilt angle - rear verses front - has increased and slots have been added in the rear shield of the cutter housing to maximise the air flow to the grass bag. These modifications have resulted in significantly improved class leading 'cut and collect' performance as well as dramatically reducing the noise level by 30 per cent.

Auto choke innovation means it's IZY-er to use

'How much choke do I use?' - this is a familiar question which most lawnmower users would rather do without. Honda engineers furthered the Izy-ness concept by studying the problems often encountered while using the choke.

As a result of their research a thermo wax assembly now opens and closes the choke valve automatically inside the intake manifold of all new Izy models. When the engine temperature is low (i.e., when starting from cold) the choke valve is closed; once the engine has warmed up, the choke valve opens.

Following engine start, the thermo wax assembly operates by receiving heat from the engine block moving the choke link to the open position. When the engine temperature cools, or when some time has passed during operation and choking is necessary, the thermo wax assembly will be returned to its initial position by the return spring. This moves the choke link to the closed position. In addition to simpler mowing, the innovative auto choke device also improves performance because the correct carburettor settings are automatically controlled and achieved with greater efficiency.
