GRASS CATCHER CLEANING AND
REPLACEMENT
GRASS CATCHER FABRIC CLEANING
CAUTION:
• Washing with a high pressure water or
steam jet will damage the grass catcher
fabric.
• Blocked mesh will prevent the grass
from entering the grass catcher fabric.
• To clean the grass catcher fabric, we
recommend washing it using a water jet
directed from the outside to the inside of
the grass catcher fabric. The grass
catcher fabric must be completely dry
before being used again. If the grass
catcher fabric is damp, it will become
clogged very quickly.
Objects struck by the cutting means may be thrown through a
torn or damaged grass catcher.
Objects thrown out by the cutting means can cause serious
injuries. Always replace a torn or damaged grass catcher.
GRASS CATCHER FABRIC REPLACEMENT
The grass catcher fabric tends to wear even in normal conditions of
use. Regularly check that it is not frayed or torn. Replace a
damaged grass catcher fabric with Honda Genuine parts.
1. Detach the plastic edges [1] of the worn grass catcher fabric [3]
and remove the grass catcher's frame [2].
2. Insert the frame into the new grass catcher fabric and fit the
plastic edges [1] to the frame.
