or replacement,
take the lawn mower to an
authorized
Honda lawn mower dealer. Or, if you have a torque wrench,
you can
remove and install the blade yourself. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.

have the blade sharpened
by an

Turn the fuel valve OFF, and rest the
mower
on its right
side, so the
carburetor
side is up.
NOTE: Hard starting and fuel leakage
may result if the mower
is placed
with the carburetor
side down.
Remove the two blade bolts with a
14 mm socket wrench.
Be sure the
ROTO-STOP lever is released, so the
blade will not move when removing
the bolts.
