Cutting-means bolt torque: 54 N∙m

Fit the special washers with their convex side, marked "OUT",
facing the bolts.
The cutting-means bolts are specially designed for this
application and must not be replaced with other bolts.
3. Tighten the cutting-means bolts with a torque wrench.
Use a wooden block [4] to prevent the cutting-means from
turning.
CAUTION:
• If you do not have a torque wrench, ask your servicing dealer to
tighten the cutting-means bolts for you before you use the
machine.
• If the cutting-means bolts are too tight or too slack, they may
break or unscrew.
CUTTING-MEANS REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
• Cutting-means balance is critical to proper machine performance.
Replace any cutting-means that is damaged or out of balance.
• Use only genuine Honda replacement cutting-means.
CUTTING-MEANS SHARPENING
CAUTION:
• To avoid weakening the cutting-means, causing it to become
unbalanced or getting a bad quality of cut, the cutting-means
should be sharpened by competent personnel at your servicing
dealer.
1. Sharpen the cutting-means cutting edges with a file. File the top
side only. Maintain the original bevel for a fine cutting edge. File
both ends evenly to maintain cutting-means balance.
2. After sharpening, test the cutting-means balance using a
screwdriver as shown above. If either side dips slightly below the
horizontal, file that side. Replace the cutting-means if it dips
excessively.

GRASS CATCHER CLEANING AND
REPLACEMENT
GRASS CATCHER FABRIC CLEANING
CAUTION:
• Washing with a high pressure washer 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 [2]
and remove the grass catcher's frame [3].
2. Insert the frame into the new grass catcher fabric and fit the
plastic edges [1] to the frame.
