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 lawn mower dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use genuine Honda replacement blades or
their equivalent.
Blade Removal
1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position to close the fuel valve.
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.
