2. SERVICE INFORMATION

2.1 General safety

Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap before servicing the engine.

If the engine must be running to perform certain operations, make sure the area iswell ventilated. Never run the engine in a closed area. The exhaust contains carbonmonoxide gas.

Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do notsmoke and keep all open flames and sparks away from your working area.

CAUTION:

• Keep away from rotating of hot parts and high voltage wires when the engine is running.

2.2 Service rules

1. Use genuine Honda or Honda recommended parts and lubricants. Parts that do notmeet Honda’s design specifications may damage the mower.

2. Use the special tools designed for the product.

3. Install new gaskets, O-rings, etc. when reassembling.

4. When tightening bolts or nuts, begin with larger-diameter or inner bolts first andtighten to the specified torque diagonally, unless a particular sequence is specified.

5. Clean parts in cleaning solvent upon disassembly. Lubricate any sliding surfacesbefore reassembly.

6. After reassembly, check all parts for proper installation and operation.

7. Many screws used in this machine are self-tapping. Be aware that cross-threading orovertightening these screws will strip the threads and ruin the hole.

8. Use only metric tools when servicing the mower. Metric bolts, nuts and screws are notinterchangeable with nonmetric fasteners. The use of incorrect tools and fastenerswill damage the mower.

9. Follow the instructions represented by these symbols when they are used:

: Apply grease : Special tool : Apply oil

2.3 Serial number location

The engine serial number is stamped on the crankcase. Refer to this number when orderingparts or making technical inquiries.

4.1 How the rotostop works: 8132521 ~

a. Rotostop lever engaged (left-hand section of the drawing)

1. The clutch control plate [1] pivots anti-clockwise.

2. The brake anchor plate [2] rises and moves away from the upper part of the lining [3].

3. The clutch spring [4] pushes the lining [3] (female cone) against the clutch cone [5](male cone).

4. The lining [3] then drives the blade holder [6] through detents located around the edgeof the lining.

5. The blade starts to rotate.

b. Rotostop lever released (right-hand section of the drawing)

1. The Rotostop return spring pivots the control plate [1] clockwise.

2. The brake anchor plate [2] drops and pushes against the upper part of the lining [3]. Atthe same time, the lining [3] is pushed downwards by the brake anchor plate [2],moving it away from the clutch cone [5].

3. The blade stops.

4.4 Blade sharpening

1. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap to prevent accidental starting.

Blade will start spinning if the Rotostop lever is engaged while the engine is running.

Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cap before inspecting the blade orplacing your hands near the cutter housing.

Tilt the mower so the carburettor faces upward.

Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands when handling the blade.

2. Use a wooden block to prevent the blade from turning and remove the two bladescrews and blade.

3. Inspect the blade for signs of wear or damage. A blade that is worn out, bent, crackedor otherwise damaged must be replaced. A dull blade can be sharpened.

4. Grind or file the blade no more than is necessary to remove nicks and to restorestraight, sharp cutting edges that are even with the lower surface of the blade.

NOTE: Grinding or filing a step in the blade can create a weak point, causing cracks todevelop during mower operation.Grind or file the upper surface of the blade only. The cutting edge must be even with thelower surface of the blade.Taper the blade profile, with the maximum amount of material removed at the blade tip andno material removed at the inner end of the cutting surface.Maintain the original blade bevel angle (30° - 40°) while sharpening [6].Do not alter the angle.Remove equal amounts of material from both cutting edges to preserve blade symmetryand balance.

5. After sharpening, dress the cutting edges with a file, so they will not be razor-sharp.Razor-sharp edges will easily chip and will quickly become dull. The blade should be0.1 - 0.3 mm thick at the cutting edges.

6. Test blade balance by placing the clean, sharpened blade on a screw driver as shown.A balanced blade will stay horizontal. If one end of the blade tips, grind or file the heavyend until good balance is achieved.

NOTE: An unbalanced blade will cause abnormal vibration and may eventually damagethe mower.

7. Install the blade.
