Machine Maintenance
Maintaining the Cutting System
The condition of the cutting system and supporting mounting system should
be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. A damaged cutting system
will become out of balance and cause the machine to vibrate excessively.
The cutting system could damage the deck, impeller and other pieces under
the deck and lead to damage to the engine or the operator.
DO NOT
use a damaged / unbalanced cutting system. Replace the cutting
system every two years or as wear and damage demand.
Regularly ensure the Disc Securing Bolt is tightened. Do not start machine
on tables, carts, utility work spaces, vehicles, etc.
Prevent An Accident
Never work on the mower unless the spark plug lead has been removed.
ALWAYS
wear strong gloves to protect your hands from serious injury.
ALWAYS
use genuine parts.
To replace the cutting system:
(1) Drain the fuel by running the engine dry (engine will stop).
(2) Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to cool.
(3) Turn the machine on its left
-
hand side
(carburetor up).
If you only need to replace the blades or the blade securing kit, you would
not need to remove the cutting disc from the machine. If you need to replace
the entire cutting disc or the spacers, the disc will need to be removed by
first removing the Blade Retaining Bolt.
Sharpening the Stainless Steel Blades
Our stainless steel blades are reversible and can be sharpened. You simply
need to sharpen the sides when then they wear down. For best results, use
both sides until they need to be sharpened, and then sharpen both sides at the
same time.
Blades should be sharpened every 25 hours or as needed. Sharpen with a flat
file for best results.
Prevent An Accident
Remove the cutting blades from the cutting system before sharpening. Use
strong gloves while handling the blades to prevent serious injury.
