Inspection
1. Move the fuel valve to the 

OFF position (page 8) and 
disconnect the spark plug 
cap from the spark plug 
(page 36).

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 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 blades yourself 
(page 30).

4. Check that the blade bolts are tight (page 31).

 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.
