BEFORE OPERATION
CHECK YOUR MOWER Blade(s)
With the throttle lever in the FUEL
VALVE OFF 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.

Inspect the blade(s) for wear and damage.
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 56 - 57).
Check that the blade bolts are tight (see page 57).
