CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
Blade Control Cable Adjustment
Measure free play at the top of
the lever, while holding the button
down. Free play should be 20 - 25 mm (3/4 - 1 in). If adjustment is
necessary:
1. Loosen the locknuts with a 10 mm wrench, and move the adjuster
up or down as required.
2. Tighten the locknuts and recheck free play.
3. Start the engine outdoors, and operate the blade control lever.
Check that the blade starts when you push the lever forward and
stops quickly when you release the lever.
If the blade does not start or stop as it should, with correct cable
adjustment, take the mower to an authorized Honda lawn mower
dealer for repair.
