Blade Removal
1. HYEA: Put the throttle lever in the STOP position.
HZEA: Turn the key to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap. Tilt the mower to the right so the
fuel cap is up. This will help prevent fuel leakage, motor oil seeping
into the air filter, and hard starting.

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 use both blades as a set.
Be sure to install the special washers with the concave side toward
the blades and the convex side toward the head of the bolt.
The blade bolts are specially designed for this application and
must not be replaced with other bolts.

WARNING
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
1. Unclip the plastic
edges [1] of the
bag [2] from the
frame [3].
2. Remove the bag
from the frame.
Installation
1. Insert the bag frame [3] into the bag
[2], as shown above.

CHARGING THE BATTERY (HZEA TYPE)
The lawn mower does not have an internal charging system. A plug-in
charger is provided to recharge the battery. Use the plug-in charger
after prolonged storage or anytime you notice a decrease in starter
motor speed.
To assure maximum reliability, the battery should be recharged (boost
charged) before prolonged storage and charged again at the
beginning of the mowing season. Charge the battery in a dry,
well-ventilated area where the temperature is moderate.
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct
procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials
away from the battery.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
