SERVICING YOUR MOWER
31
BLADE(S)
1. Turn the fuel valve to OFF
(page 9). Disconnect the spark
plug cap from the spark plug
(page 37).
2. Tilt the mower to the right, so
the carburetor side is up. This
will help to prevent fuel leakage
and hard starting.
3. Inspect the blade(s) for wear
and damage.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent,
cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or damaged
blade can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from the mower.
When a blade needs sharpening or replacement take the lawn mower
to an authorized Honda servicing dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install the blade(s) yourself (page 32).
Check that the blade bolts are tight (page 33).
 WARNING
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break,
and pieces of the damaged blade can become
dangerous projectiles.
Thrown objects can cause serious injury.
Inspect the blade(s) regularly. Do not operate
the mower with a worn or damaged blade.
