BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION If you remove the blade(s) 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 blade(s), or causing
imbalance or poor cutting, the blade(s) should be sharpened by
trained staff at an authorized Honda servicing dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use genuine Honda replacement blade(s)
or their equivalent.
Blade Removal
1. Put the throttle lever in the STOP position and turn the fuel valve
OFF. Disconnect the spark plug cap, then 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 blade(s) from turning when removing
the bolts.
3. Remove the blade(s) from the blade control assembly.
