Grass Bag Cleaning And Replacement - Honda HRR216VXA Owner's Manual

Blade Removal and Installation
If you remove the blades for sharpening or replacement, you will need
a torque wrench for installation. Wear heavy gloves to protect your
hands.
BLADE SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the blades, or causing
imbalance or poor cutting, the blades should be sharpened by trained
staff at an authorized Honda servicing dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use Honda Genuine replacement blades or
their equivalent (page 18).
Removal
1. Turn the fuel valve OFF. Disconnect the spark plug cap (page 12),
then tilt the mower to the right side (from the operator's point of
view) so the fuel filler cap is up (page 9).
2. Remove the two blade bolts with a 14 mm (6 sided) wrench or
socket. Use a wooden block to prevent the blades from turning
when removing the bolts.
3. Remove the blades.

Installation
1. Clean dirt and grass from around the blade mounting area.
2. Install both blades using the two blade bolts and special washers
as shown. Be sure to install the special washers with the concave
side toward the blades and the convex side toward the bolt head.
B WARNING
Operating this mower with only one blade will result in an
improperly seated blade that can be thrown from the
mower and seriously hurt or kill someone.
Always install both blades as a set.
The blade bolts and washers are specially designed for this
application. When replacing bolts and washers, use only Honda
Genuine replacement parts.
3. Tighten the blade bolts with a torque wrench. Use a wooden block
to prevent the blades from turning when tightening the bolts.
Blade bolt torque: 36 ~ 43 ft-lb (49 ~ 59 N·m)

If you do not have a torque wrench, have an authorized Honda
servicing dealer tighten the blade bolts before you use the mower.
If the blade bolts are overtightened, they could break. If the blade
bolts are not tightened enough, they could loosen or come out. In
either case, it would be possible for the blades to fly off while you
are operating the mower.
