3. If any of the blades shows signs of damage or excessive wear, a more
thorough inspection is necessary (see page 38 for cutter deck removal).
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent, crack-
ed or otherwise damaged must be replaced. If a blade needs sharpening
or replacement, take the cutter deck to your authorized Honda lawn
tractor dealer. Or, if you have the proper tools, you can remove and in-
stall the blade yourself.

l Never operate the lawn tractor with a blade that is cracked or notched
at the base of its upturned rear edge.
CAUTION:

l To reduce the possibility of weakening the blade, or catising imbalance
or poor cutting performance, sharpening should be performed by an
authorized Honda lawn tractor dealer.
