Overview
About the Honda HRU196 Buffalo Pro
The Honda HRU196 Buffalo Pro is the kind of mower many local homeowners and contractors rely on for regular grass cutting. Like any hard-working mower, it performs best when the engine, blades, cables, air filter and fuel system are kept clean and correctly adjusted. The most common workshop issues are usually related to stale fuel, blocked carburettor passages, worn blades, stretched control cables and general service neglect.
