Blades - Honda HRR216VXA Owner's Manual

BLADES

1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF
position (page 8). and discon-
nect the spark plug cap from the
spark plug (page 32).
2. Tilt the mower to the right, so
the air filter side is up. This will
help to prevent fuel leakage and
hard starting.
3. Inspect the blades for wear and damage.
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break,
and pieces of the damaged blade can become
dangerous projectiles.
Thrown objects can cause serious injury.
Inspect the blades regularly. Do not operate the
mower with worn or damaged blades.
NORMAL
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is excessively worn,
bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or
damaged blade can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from the
mower.
When a blade needs sharpening or replacement, take the lawn mower
to an authorized Honda servicing dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install the blades yourself (page 26).
Check that the blade bolts are tight (page 27).
