Warning
Always protect hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges of the blade with rags
and other material when performing blade maintenance. Contact with the blade could result in serious
personal injury.
Warning
Do not lubricate any of the wheel components. Lubrication may cause the wheel components to fail during
use, which could result in serious personal injury to the operator and/or mower or property damage.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
(See figure 9-10)
NOTE:
Only use authorised replacement blades.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
Stop the motor. Allow blade to come to a
complete stop. Turn power off.
Turn the mower on its side.
Wedge an obstruction (23) between the blade
and mower deck to prevent the blade from
turning.
Loosen the blade nut by turning it counter-
clockwise (as viewed from bottom of mower)
using a 15 mm wrench (24) or socket (not
provided).
Remove the blade nut, spacer, washer, and
blade.
Make certain the blade holder is pushed
completely against the motor shaft.
Place the new blade on the shaft. Ensure blade
is properly seated with shaft going through
centre blade hole and the two blade posts
inserted into their respective holes on the blade.
Make sure it is installed with the curved ends
pointing up toward the mower deck and not
down toward the ground. When seated
properly, the blade should be flat against the
blade holder.
Replace the blade insulator and spacer, then
thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger
tighten.
NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact order in which they were removed.
