MAINTENANCE
BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
If you remove the blades 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 blades, or causing
imbalance or poor cutting, the blades should be sharpened by trained
staff at an authorized Honda servicing dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use genuine Honda replacement blades or
their equivalent.
Blade Removal
1. Always turn the engine OFF and turn the fuel valve to the OFF
position. 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 from turning when removing the
bolts.
3. Remove the blades and blade spacer from the blade holder
assembly. For correct reinstallation, note that the two holes in the
blade spacer align with the two raised bosses in the blade holder
assembly.
