2. Move the fuel valve to the OFF position (page 9).
3. Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug (page 14).
4. Tilt the mower to the right so the fuel cap [1] is up. This will help
prevent fuel leakage, motor oil seeping into the air filter, and hard
starting.
5. Inspect the cutting means [2]
for damage, cracks, and
excessive wear, rust, or
corrosion.

EXCESSIVELY WORN

A worn, cracked, or damaged cutting means can break,
and pieces of the damaged cutting means can become
dangerous projectiles.
Thrown objects can cause serious injury.
Inspect the cutting means regularly, and do not operate
the mower with a worn or damaged cutting means.
A dull cutting means can be sharpened, but a cutting means that is worn
out, bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or
damaged cutting means can break, causing cutting means pieces to be
thrown from the mower.
When a cutting means needs sharpening or replacement, take the
lawnmower to an authorized Honda dealer. Or, if you have a torque
wrench, you can remove and install the cutting means yourself.
Check that the cutting means bolts are tight (page 16).

ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT

B3 B5
There are seven adjustment settings. The cutting height
figures are approximate. The actual height of cut grass
C19 D1 D8
will vary with lawn and soil conditions.
[1]
Check the cutting-means enclosure cutting height settings, and be sure
that both adjustment levers [1] are set to the same cutting height position.
To adjust cutting height, pull each adjustment lever [1] toward the wheel,
and move it into another notch.
If you are not sure what cutting height to select, start with a high setting
and check the appearance of the lawn after mowing a small area. Then
readjust cutting height if necessary.
There is one adjustment lever [1]
for each wheel.
Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden
center for cutting height recommendations
and advice about specific types of grasses
and growing conditions in your area.
If you look closely, you'll see that most grass
has stems and leaves. If you cut off the leaves,
you'll scalp the lawn. Let the grass recover
between mowings. Your mower will work
better, and your lawn will look better.
If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height setting,
and then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don't take off more than one third of
total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may develop.
