CUTTING MEANS FITTING AND
REMOVAL
CUTTING MEANS REMOVAL
1. Place the throttle control lever in
"STOP" position.
2. Close the fuel shut-off valve and drain the carburettor.
3. Tip the lawnmower so that the carburettor faces upwards.
NOTE: Never tip the lawnmower so that the carburettor faces down;
this will make starting difficult.
4. Remove the cutting-
means [11] bolts [14]
with a 14 mm [13]
socket spanner. Use
a block of wood to
prevent the cutting
means from turning
when undoing the
bolts.
5. Remove the cutting
[14]
means from the
cutting-means
holder [12] together with the block.
CUTTING MEANS SHARPENING
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's
balance.
2. After sharpening, test the cutting
means's balance using a
screwdriver as shown. If either side
dips slightly below the horizontal, file
that side. Replace the cutting means if it dips excessively.
CAUTION:
• Cutting means's balance is critical to proper lawnmower performance.
Replace any cutting means that is damaged or out of balance.
• Use only a genuine Honda replacement cutting means or
equivalent.
