BEFORE OPERATION
CHECK YOUR MOWER

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.

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 servicing dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install a blade yourself (see pages 60 - 61).
Check that the blade bolts are tight (see page 61).
