CUTTING MEANS REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION
If you remove the cutting means for sharpening
or replacement, you will need a torque wrench
for installation. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands.
Cutting means SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the cutting means, or
causing imbalance or poor cutting, the cutting means should be
sharpened by trained staff at an authorized Honda dealer.
Cutting means REPLACEMENT: Use Honda Genuine replacement cutting
means or their equivalent.
Removal
1. Turn the fuel valve OFF and disconnect the spark plug cap.
2. Tilt the mower to the right so the fuel cap is up. This will help to prevent
fuel leakage, motor oil seeping into the air filter, and hard starting.
3. Remove the cutting-means bolts [1] and special washers [2] with a 14
mm (6 point) socket wrench. Wear thick leather gloves and hold the
cutting means [3] with your hand to prevent the them from turning
when removing the bolts. Remove the cutting means.
4. Inspect the cutting-means holder (VKEA) or Roto-Stop assembly (VYEA)
[4] and cutting means mounting surface for damage. If damage is
found or the cutting means have impacted a hard object, replace the
damaged parts.
Installation
1. Clean dirt and grass from around the cutting means mounting area.
2. Install both cutting means [3] using the two cutting means bolts [1]
and special washers [2] as shown. Be sure to install the special washers
with the concave side toward the cutting means and the convex side
toward the head of the bolt.
The cutting-means bolts and washers are specially designed for this
application. When replacing the bolts and washers, use only Honda
Genuine replacement parts.
3. Tighten the cutting-means bolts with a torque wrench [4]. Use a
wooden block [5] to prevent the cutting means from turning.
Cutting-means bolt torque: 54 N·m
If you do not have a torque wrench, have an authorized Honda dealer
tighten the cutting-means bolts before you use the mower. If the
cutting-means bolts are overtightened, they could break. If the
cutting-means bolts are not tightened enough, they could loosen or
come out. In either case, it would be possible for the cutting means to
fly off while you are operating the mower.
