LAWN MOWER TYPE IDENTIFICATION
Throughout this manual, an HRN216 lawn mower’s type is listed
when the repair procedure varies from other HRN216 types. Refer to
the serial number label located on the top of the mower deck behind
the engine to determine the type of an HRN216 lawn mower.
You may also use the information shown below to identify the type of
HRN216 lawn mower you are repairing.
Models ending with a three-letter type (ex: HRN216VKA) use engines that were assembled in Japan and
have engine serial numbers beginning GJATK-. Models with a four-letter type (ex: HRN216VKAA) use
engines that were assembled in the U.S.A and have engine serial numbers beginning GJAUA-. There are
no other differences between three and four-letter model types besides the engine manufacturing location.
All model types used throughout this manual are of the three-letter types used in the U.S.A.
