THE ENGINE

GCV170 4‑Stroke Performance

The HRN216VKC is driven by Honda’s GCV170, a 167cc, 4‑stroke OHC single‑cylinder engine with a recoil start and dual‑element air filter; fuel capacity is 0.9 quarts and oil capacity is 13.5 ounces.

THE CUT

Precision Deck and Mulching

A 21‑inch steel deck with seven cutting heights (1 1/8 inch to 4 inches) combines with the Twin Blade MicroCut® system and the 3‑in‑1 Clip Director® to produce finer clippings for effective mulching, bagging or side discharge; the grass bag holds about 1.9 bushels.

THE HANDLING

Controlled Drive and On‑the‑Job Safety

Variable Speed Select Drive® provides a 0–4 mph range for steady, controlled ground speed, while the Roto‑Stop® Blade Stop System lets you stop the blade without shutting down the engine; the mower’s dry weight is 86 lbs.
