4. If the blade shows signs of damage or excessive wear, a more thorough
inspection is necessary (see page 56 for cutter deck removal). A dull
blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent, cracked or
otherwise damaged must be replaced. If a blade needs sharpening or
replacement, take the cutter deck to your authorized Honda riding
mower dealer.
Or, if you have the proper tools, you can remove and install the blade
yourself.
