BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
If you remove the blade(s) 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 blade(s), or causing
imbalance
or poor cutting, the blade(s) should be sharpened
by
trained staff at an authorized
Honda
servicing
dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT:
Use genuine Honda replacement
blade(s)
or their equivalent.
Blade Removal
1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position and turn the fuel valve
OFF. Disconnect
the spark plug cap, then tilt the mower to the right
side, so the carburetor
side is up. This will help to prevent fuel
leakage and hard starting due to carburetor flooding.
2.
Remove
the two blade
bolts with a 14 mm socket
wrench.
Use a
wooden
block to prevent
the blade(s)
from turning
when
removing
the bolts.
3. Remove the blade(s) from the blade control assembly.
