Blade Inspection

. -
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade
can break and throw pieces with great
force.
Thrown blade pieces can seriously
injure you and any bystanders.
Always inspect the blades before using
the lawn tractor. Replace a blade if
worn or damaged. Do not operate the
tractor with a worn or damaged blade.
When the blades need resharpening or replacement, take the lawn
tractor to an authorized servicing Honda lawn tractor dealer. Or, if you
have a torque wrench, you can remove and install the blades
yourself, as described later in this chapter.
