SERVICING YOUR MOWER

27

Blade Installation
1. Clean dirt and grass from around the blade mounting area.

2. Install the blades using the two blade bolts and special washers as

shown (concave side of the special washers toward the blades).

The blade bolts and washers are specially designed for the mower.
When replacing bolts and washers, use only genuine Honda
replacement parts.

3. Tighten the blade bolts with a torque wrench. Use a wooden block

to prevent the blades from turning when tightening the bolts.

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 blades to fly off while you are operating the
mower.
