6. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANTE
Regular, careful maintenance is essential for
keeping the safety level and original performance of the machine
unchanged in time. Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear strong working gloves during any cleaning, maintenance
or adjustment operation on the machine.
2) Remove the grass debris after each cut and mud accumulat-
ed inside the chassis to avoid their drying and thus making the
next start-up difficult.
3) Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear of de-
bris.
Only blades with the following codes must be used on this machine:
HRE 330: VP5
HRE 370: VP6
Blades must always be marked «Honda».
Given the product evolution, the above mentioned blade may be re-
placed in time by others, with similar interchangeable and operating
safety characteristics.
Reassemble the blade
(2) with the code and
markings facing the ro-
tor, following the order
indicated in the illus-
tration, making sure the
spacers are replaced
correctly.
Tighten the screws (3)
with a torque wrench
set to 10-14 Nm.
CAUTION:
If you do not have the required skills of equipment, it is recommended
to ask your Honda dealer for adjustment.
WARNING!
A damaged or bent blade must always be
replaced; never try to repair it!
