Blade Installation - Honda HRM215PDA Harmony Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Blade installation
1. Clean dirt and grass from around the blade mounting area.
2. Install the blades using the two blade bolts and special
washers as shown.
Be sure to install the special washers with the concave side
toward the blades and the convex side toward the bolts.
The blade bolts are specially designed for this application and
must not be replaced with other bolts.
3. Tighten the blade bolts with a torque wrench. Use a wooden
block to prevent the blades from turning when tightening the bolts.
Blade bolt torque: 49-59 Nom (36-43 ft-lb)
If you do not have a torque wrench, have an authorized Honda
lawn mower dealer tighten the blade bolts before you use the
mower. If the blade bolts are overtightened, they could break.
If the blade bolts are not tightened enough, they could loosen
or come out. In either case, it would be possible for the blades
to fly off while you are operating the mower.
