3. Measure clearance [7] at the tip of
the lever [6] = 30-35 mm.
4. If adjustment is necessary, loosen
the lock nuts [8] and adjust as
required. Tighten the lock nuts and
check the clearance again.

BLADE FITTING
ANDREMOVAL
BLADE REMOVAL
1. Place the throttle
lever in "STOP" position.
2. Tip the mower so that the
carburetor faces upwards
[13].
3. Remove the bolts [14]
from the blade [15] using
a 14 mm socket wrench [18].
Use a wood block to stop
the blade rotating when
slackening the bolts.
4. Remove the blade [15] from
the blade holder [17].
NOTE: Never tip the mower
so that the carburetor faces
down; this will make starting
difficult.
BLADE SHARPENING
1. Sharpen the blade cutting edges with a file. File the top side
only. Maintain the original bevel for a fine cutting edge. File both
ends evenly to maintain blade balance.
2. After sharpening, test the blade's balance using a screwdriver
as shown. If either side dips slightly below the horizontal, file
that side. Replace the blade if it dips excessively.
CAUTION:
• To avoid weakening the blade, causing it to become unbalanced
or getting a bad quality of cut, the blade should be sharpened by
competent personnel at your Honda dealer's.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
• Blade balance is critical to proper
mower performance. Replace any
blade that is damaged or out of
balance.
• Use only genuine Honda
replacement blades.
