10. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
10.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Inspect the mower before each use for damage
or loose parts.
Clean the mower after each use and make
sure the blade is still sharp.
If the blade is blunt, have it sharpened
before the next time the mower is used.
Protect the blade against rusting by
covering it with oil or rust inhibitor when the
mower is stored for the winter.
10.2 BLADE REPLACEMENT
Warning:
remove the plug from the socket
before carrying out adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
– Using a cloth or thick glove, hold the blade
and remove bolt using a suitable
spanner. Undo the bolt
in an
anticlockwise direction.
– Replace the blade and ensure the blade bolt
is fully tightened.
