MAINTENANCE
BLADES
Inspect, check bolt tightness, remove, sharpen, and replace the blades
as described in this section. Always complete these steps before
working around the mower blades:
1. Move the PTO clutch knob to OFF. Engage the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and remove the key.
3. Disconnect the spark plug caps.
Blade Inspection
When the blades need resharpening or replacement, take the lawn
tractor to an authorized servicing Honda lawn tractor dealer. Or, if you
have a torque wrench, you can remove and install the blades yourself.
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade
can break and pieces of the blade can
become dangerous projectiles.
Thrown objects can cause serious
injury.
Inspect the blades regularly and do
not operate the lawn tractor with a
worn or damaged blade.
