BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
If you remove the blades for sharpening or replacement, you will need
a torque wrench for installation. Wear heavy gloves to protect your
hands.
BLADE SHARPENING: To avoid weakening the blades, or causing
imbalance or poor cutting, the blades should be sharpened by trained
staff at an authorized Honda dealer.
BLADE REPLACEMENT: Use Honda Genuine replacement blades or
their equivalent.

Blade Removal
1. HYEA: Put the throttle lever in the STOP position.
HZEA: Turn the key to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap. Tilt the mower to the right so the
fuel cap is up. This will help prevent fuel leakage, motor oil seeping
into the air filter, and hard starting.
