Blade Removal and Installation
If you remove the blades for sharpening or replacement, you will need
a torque wrench for installation. Wear heavy gloves to protect your
hands.
BLADE SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the blades or causing
imbalance or poor cutting, the blades should be sharpened by trained
staff at an authorized Honda servicing dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use genuine Honda replacement blades
(page 67).
Blade Removal
1. Stop the engine and move the fuel valve to OFF (page 19).
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug (page 36).
3. Tilt the mower to the right, so the carburetor side is up. This will
help to prevent fuel leakage and hard starting due to carburetor
flooding.
4. Hold the blades so they cannot turn.
5. Remove the two blade bolts with a 14 mm socket wrench.
6. Remove both blades from the blade control assembly.
