BEFORE MOWING

Check Your Mower

Blade(s)

With the throttle lever in the

STOP position and the spark

plug cap disconnected, tilt the

mower to the right, so the

carburetor side is up. This will

help to prevent fuel leakage and

hard starting.

Inspect the blade(s) for wear

and damage.

NORMAL

EXCESSIVELY

WORN

BLADE(S)

BLADE BOLTS

BENT

CRACKED

Dull blades can be sharpened, but blades that are worn out, bent,

cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. Worn or

damaged blades can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown

from the mower.

When the blade(s) needs sharpening or replacement take the

lawn mower to an authorized Honda lawn mower dealer. Or, if

you have a torque wrench, you can remove and install the

blade(s) yourself (see pages 58 - 59).

BLADE SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the blade(s), or

causing imbalance or poor cutting, the blade(s) should be

sharpened by trained staff at an authorized Honda lawn mower

dealer.

BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use genuine Honda replacement

blades or their equivalent.

Check that the blade bolts are tight. Use a wooden block to

prevent the blade(s) from turning when tightening the bolts. Wear

heavy gloves to protect your hands.

Blade bolt torque: 49 - 59 Nom (5.0 - 6.0 kg-m, 36 - 43 ft-lb).
