MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
For safety reasons we recommend that the blade only be changed by someone qualified and authorized to
do so.
Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt counter-clockwise using a wrench. Remove the washer and the
blade.
Fit a new blade or re-sharpen the blade. Place the blade on the two studs on the blade flange and then
replace the washer and bolts. Make sure the blade is correctly located, and then firmly tighten the bolt. Do
not over tighten. The up turn of the blade must project into the motor compartment.
STORING THE LAWN MOWER FOR SHORT PERIODS
The lawn mower can be stored for short periods of time (less than 15 days) without performing any storage
maintenance. Before placing the lawn mower into storage always do the following:
1. Allow the engine to fully cool.
2. Ensure the grass bag is empty.
3. Clean all debris from under the mower deck.
4. Store the lawn mower on a flat and level surface with the mower upright.
5. Store in a safe place which is not accessible by children or people who are not familiar with the lawn
mower's operation.
STORING THE LAWN MOWER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
If the lawn mower is to be placed into storage for more than 15 days, storage maintenance must be
performed on the lawn mower. If the following steps are not carried out, when you next operate the
lawnmower it may not start correctly and may need to be serviced.
CAUTION!
Do not empty the gas tank in enclosed areas, near fire or when smoking. Gas fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
1. Empty the gas tank with a gas suction pump if available.
2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining gas has been used up.
3. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
4. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the paint.
5. Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
