CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
Flywheel Brake Cable Adjustment
Measure free play at the top of the flywheel brake lever. Free play
should be 3/16 ~ 3/8 in (5 ~ 10 mm). If adjustment is necessary:
1. Loosen the lock nuts with a 10 mm wrench, and move the adjuster
up or down as required.
2. Tighten the lock nuts and recheck free play.
3. Start the engine outdoors. Move the throttle to FAST. Release the
flywheel brake lever; the engine should stop quickly.
If the flywheel brake does not operate properly with the correct
cable adjustment, take the mower to an authorized Honda
servicing dealer for repair.
