Blade Removal and Installation

If you remove the blades for sharpening or replacement, use 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 servicing dealer.

BLADE REPLACEMENT: If replacing a blade, use a genuine Honda
replacement blade or equivalent.

Blade Removal
1. Turn the fuel valve OFF. Disconnect the spark plug cap, then tilt the

mower to the right side (air filter side 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 wrench. Use a wooden

block to prevent the blades from turning when removing the bolts.
Remove the blades from the blade holder.
