Check Your Mower; Blade - Honda Harmony HRB215SXA Owner's Manual

BEFORE OPERATION
CHECK YOUR MOWER
Blade
With the throttle lever in the
STOP position, and the spark
plug cap disconnected, tilt the
mower to the right, so the
carburetor side is up. This will
help to prevent fuel leakage and
hard starting.
BLADE BbLTS
B-LADE(S)
Inspect the blade(s) for wear and damage.
NORMAL
EXCESSIVELY
BENT
CRACKED
WORN
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, 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 lawn mower dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install a blade yourself (see pages 57 - 58).
Check that the blade bolts are tight (see page 58).
