MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Blade Removal and Installation If you remove the blades for sharpening or replacement, you will
need a torque wrench for installation. Wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
BLADE SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the blades, or
causing imbalance or poor cutting, the blades should be
sharpened by trained staff at an authorized Honda lawn mower
dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use genuine Honda replacement
blades or their equivalent.
Blade Removal 1. With the throttle in the FUEL OFF position and the spark plug
cap disconnected, tilt the mower to the right side, so the
carburetor side is up. This will help to prevent fuel leakage and
hard starting due to carburetor flooding.
2. Remove the two blade bolts with a 14 mm socket wrench. Use
a wooden block to prevent the blades from turning when
removing the bolts.
3. Remove the blades from the mower.
