Thanks mate
I just picked up a Honda mower and showing me this in a simple way I can now save myself a few bob doing it myself👍
Glad I could help 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. Yes, please disconnect the spark plug before attempting to replace the blades. And the spring washers need to be oriented the correct way - flat side facing the blade disc, curved edges facing the actual blade. It was good that you put one or two of them on the wrong way to show everyone what happens if you put them on the wrong way. Ideally reseat all nuts using a torque wrench as per the operation manual specification.
Note some Honda mowers only have two blades installed on the blade disk, while other Honda mowers like yours have four blades. The mowers with the mulching feature usually have four blades. It is possible to install four blades on a Honda mower that doesn't have a mulching feature but usually not necessary if you are just cutting grass and collecting it in the grass catcher.
Cheers from the Land Down Under.
Should always start the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes. Then, very importantly, disconnect the spark plug lead before tipping the mower over to drain the oil.
Great advise. thanks mate
I have one of these mowers and this was super helpful. How often should you do a mini service like this?
Hi mate, thanks for watching. I’m stoked you found it useful. It depends how much you use it really. If you are a contractor using it all day everyday then I’d do this once a month or more if needed. If it’s summer and dusty you might want to clean / change the air filter every week. If you’re mowing rough ground a lot then the blades might need changing more often etc etc. Lots variables to give a clear answer but hope that helps 👍🏻
@@lovelawns brilliant, yeah contractor so really want to take care of this as I’m already in love with this mower haha
@@MeditationNation528 Awesome mate, great mowers. Will last years if looked after too. Good money maker lol
Oil should be about every 50hrs, air filter (depends on how dusty your area is) but if you can at least change it once a year, clean it as often as you can. Blades on a basic lawn should be around 1-2yrs (mileage will vary) but generally you will "feel" you need to change it when it takes you like 3-4 passes before its cut, or when you see that the grass just "bends" down.
I had to double check the video I think you have the tension washer the wrong way round.
The flat of the washer should be against the disk and the raised edges face the blade.
I think so that the raised curves touch the actual blade surface eg they go past the oversized bolt centre they step around it and pivots off a wider area .
You are correct. Those washers are called SPRING WASHERS. The flat part of the washer should be flush against the disk and the raised edges should face the mower blade. The orientation is clearly stated in the operation manuals that are supplied with new Honda mowers of this type.
Hello, apart from the plug, what else would be in a major service please?
Hi Michael, thanks for watching. They would check cables, bearings, wheels, spark plug, driveshaft, all bolts and seals etc etc. thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for the reply, good to know, mine just got delivered.
When is the best time to change the disc.
I’m not sure if you need to change the disc unless it gets damaged.
@@lovelawns agree you don't need to change this one unless you damaged it.
Any advise for getting the blade disc off when the mower shop has over tightened the Jesus out of them. Yes I have a impact driver but it won’t budge them
You’ll need to wedge a bit of wood in there and use long ratchet tool so you have leverage. Surprised the rattle gun doesn’t do the job tho..? Maybe a bigger rattle gun?
Can't stress it enough #1 most important thing when servicing is lining up the air filter screws!!! Hahaha only the criminaly insane would leave them skewed.
Haha you know it mate 👍🏻
Is that a Sthil FS 94 I see in the background
Sure is mate. How did you see that lol? Eagle eyes 😂
I don’t miss one when I see one. They are a awesome machine
Cracking whippy 👍🏻
I bought the honda hrx lawnmower on 2019 changed oil after 5hrs in 2022 3rd time out it blew up big hole in block honda basically said sorry about your luck they said was from me lack of lubrication was 1550$ tax included thought was my last lawnmower being almost 64 ive been plumbing for 39yrs im mechanically inclined definitely nothing i did so sad😢😢
Maybe try a battery mower next 👍🏻
Any experience with battery powered Honda's?
No, not a fan.
Is it true two blades have a higher lift then the other two? Yours all appear to be all the same 🤷♂️
You can run it like that but i just run all of them as high lift.
standard ones (you buy online or at a mower shop) will have 2 high lift and 2 low lift but if you don't use the mulch plug then you can change that to all high lifts ones for better "throw" to the catcher specially when the grass is wet.
How to use the machine
This was a video on how to service the machine. It’s pretty straight forward to use. Don’t think it requires a video. Just talk to local dealer when you buy it.
Take spark plug boot off you dont want to lose your fingers
Yep, should have done that. Thanks.
My girlfriend passed by and asked who the guy with the nice legs was... Then that man's wife passed by, so I asked who the woman with the nice legs was... Im doing dishes tonight
Haha
