3. Tighten the blade bolts with a torque wrench [7]. Use a wooden
block [6] to prevent the blades from turning.
Blade bolt torque: 49 ~ 59 N·m
If you do not have a torque wrench, have an authorized Honda
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.
GRASS BAG CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT
Cleaning
Wash the bag with a garden hose, and allow it to dry completely
before use; a wet bag will clog quickly.
Replacement
Replace a worn or damaged bag with a Honda replacement bag or its
equivalent.
Removal
[2]
1. Unclip the plastic
edges [1] of the
bag [2] from the
frame [3].
2. Remove the bag
from the frame.
[1]
Installation
1. Insert the bag frame [3] into the bag
[2], as shown above.
2. Clip the plastic edges [1] of the bag
onto the frame.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
(HZEA TYPE)
The lawn mower engine has an internal charging system. Under
normal mowing usage it is not necessary to charge or maintain the
battery.
If the mower fails to start or has been stored for an extended period:
• Start the lawn mower using the recoil starter manually for one
mowing session. This should charge the battery sufficiently to use
the electric starter.
• If you prefer, there is an optional AC powered battery charger
available from your Honda dealer.
• If the lawn mower fails to start (after manually starting for one
mowing session) check for a blown fuse.
• If it still fails to start, take the lawn mower to an authorized Honda
servicing dealer.
REPLACING A FUSE
The electric starter circuit and battery are protected by a 40 ampere
fuse [1] and 3 ampere fuse [2]. If the 40 amp fuse burns out, the
electric starter will not operate and if the 3 amp fuse burns out, the
battery will not charge. The engine can be started manually if either
fuse burns out.
1. Remove the battery cover by removing the three cover mounting
screws [3].
2. Remove and inspect the fuses. If they are burned out [4], replace
with the correct fuse as shown.
Never use a fuse with a rating other than shown. Serious damage
to the electrical system or a fire can result.

BATTERY
[2]
If a frequent fuse failure occurs, it usually indicates a short circuit or
an overload in the electrical system. Take the mower to an authorized
Honda servicing dealer for repair.

TRANSPORTING
Before Loading
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the mower on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and
exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. This will prevent carburetor
flooding and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

bag. You can place it
on top of the engine,
with the bag opening
to the front.
2. Turn the handlebar
adjust knobs [1] 90°
into the unlock
position.
3. Fold handlebar [2]
over mower.
When folding the
handlebar, be careful to avoid kinking or pinching the control
cables.
