SERVICING YOUR LAWN MOWER
32
BLADES
Inspection
1. Move the fuel valve to the 
OFF position (page 8) and 
disconnect the spark plug 
cap from the spark plug 
(page 39).
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 blades for wear and 
damage.
A  dull blade can be 
sharpened, but a blade 
that is excessively 
worn, bent, cracked, or 
otherwise damaged 
must be replaced. A 
worn or damaged blade 
can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from the mower.
If the blades are found to be bent, take the lawn mower to an 
authorized Honda servicing dealer for inspection.
4. A torque wrench must always be used when installing the blades. 
Check that the blade bolts are tight (page 34).
 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 regularly, and do not operate 
the mower with a worn or damaged blade.
