Honda engine GCV 160cc observation

[Irrivirsible]

I notice that this engine has parts hanging down on the left side of the engine if you are standing facing the handles like when you mow and there is a spring there. Looks like the spring and those parts could get caught if you are mowing around shrubs and or bushes. Don't know how much it would take to bend something but doesn't look like it would take much if it got caught on something.

So mow with the other side of the mower towards shrubs. I never got mine caught on anything
