CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
Blade Control Cable
Measure free play at the top of the blade control lever [1], while
holding the button down. Free play should be 10 ~ 15 mm. If
adjustment is necessary:
1. Loosen the locknuts
[2] with a 10 mm
wrench, and move the
adjuster [3] up or
down as required.
2. Tighten the locknuts
and recheck free play.
3. Start the engine
outdoors, and operate
the blade control
lever. Check that the
blade starts when you
push the lever forward
and stops quickly
when you release the
lever.
If the blade does not
start or stop as it
should, with correct
cable adjustment,
take the mower to an
authorized Honda dealer for repair.
Drive Clutch Cable Adjustment
1. With the engine stopped,
position the control cable
bands [1] as shown.
2. Pull the shift lever all the
way back to the stop
position.
3. Start the engine and
move the throttle lever to
the FAST position.
4. Engage the drive clutch
lever [2] and confirm the
following:
a. Mower does not
self-propel.
b. Mower begins to
self-propel or creeps very
slowly forward when the
shift lever is moved one
notch forward.
If the mower does not
operate as outlined above, go to step 5.
If the mower does operate as outlined above, adjustment is
not required.
5. Loosen the top [3] and
bottom [4] drive clutch
cable locknuts with a 10
mm wrench. Move the
adjuster [5] up or down,
as required, until the
mower operates as
outlined in step 4. Tighten
the locknuts.
THROTTLE CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
1. Move the throttle lever [1] to
the fast position [2].
2. Remove air cleaner
cover.
3. Measure clearance
between control choke
arm [3] and control
lever [4]. Clearance
should be 0 ~ 1 mm. If
clearance is correct,
no adjustment is
necessary. If clearance
is incorrect, proceed to
step 4.
4. Loosen lock nuts [5]
with a 10 mm wrench. Move
adjuster [6] up or down as
required to achieve
clearance in step 3.
Retighten locknuts [5].
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.
