SERVICING YOUR MOWER
33
Blade Installation
1. Clean around the blade holder. Install the blade(s) using the bolts
and special washers as shown [concave side of the special
washers toward the blade(s)].
The blade bolts and washers are specially designed for the mower.
Should you ever have to replace them, use only genuine Honda
parts. Otherwise, a blade may become detached from the mower
and cause serious injury.
2. Tighten the bolts with a torque wrench. Use a wooden block to stop
the blade(s) from turning.
Blade bolt torque: 36 ~ 43 ft-lb (49 ~ 59 N·m)
If you don’t have a torque wrench, have an authorized Honda servicing
dealer tighten the blade bolts before you use the mower. If the blade
bolts are overtightened, they could break. If the blade bolts are not
tightened enough, they could loosen or come out. In either case, it
would be possible for the blade to fly off while you are operating the
mower.
