9. MAINTENANCE
FLYWHEEL BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Measure free play at the top of the lever, as shown. Free play should be
less than 3/16 in (5 mm).
2. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock nuts with a 10 mm wrench, and
move the adjuster up or down as required. Tighten the lock nuts and recheck ‘
free play.
3. Hold the lever forward and start the engine. Release the lever; the engine
should stop quickly. If the flywheel brake does not engage and release
properly with correct cable adjustment, take the mower to an authorized
Honda lawn mower dealer for repair.
